The ACT Government is committing to an additional $8 million for additional fit-out components and equipment at the new CIT Campus in Woden.
The audio-visual equipment to be installed is set to include augmented hearing systems, camera tracking capability, video conferencing equipment, LED wall displays, smart screens, microphones, amplifiers and speakers.
Modern commercial workstations, appliances, a demountable stage and creative art equipment will also be delivered as part of this commitment.
Opening in 2025, the campus will welcome 6,500 students each year and include a new light rail ready public transport interchange, creating more business, employment and education opportunities in the Woden Town Centre.
The new CIT campus in Woden will be Canberra's largest new education facility enabled by smart technology.
The campus buildings are also some of Canberra's more sustainable buildings. A cross-laminated timber frame is currently being installed in the main building, contributing to the project's 6 Green Star Rating.
A second crane has also now been assembled, as construction ramps up across the new campus site. The crane was named 'Moon Lifter' by Woden school children, and joins first crane 'Sir Lifts a Lot'.
Canberrans can expect to see the main building 'top out' in the second half of this year.
