NEW NAME AND NEW PRECINCT TO CAPITALISE ON FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES

Federal Member for Ballarat, Catherine King celebrated the opening of the new Science and Engineering Building at Federation University’s Mt Helen Campus.

Ms King said the University in addition to its new name, now had a world-class regional learning, teaching and research facility attracting the best and brightest to study in our region.

“This impressive state-of-the-art precinct brings together under one roof the School of Science, Information Technology and Engineering, and the School of Health Sciences,” Ms King said.

“Disciplines of mining, engineering, chemistry, biomedical and environmental sciences offered here are crucial to Australia’s future productivity and prosperity.

“These disciplines have their challenges, particularly as we face skills shortages in the workforce but they also provide opportunities – attracting the best and brightest to our region to fill those shortages.

“I commend the University for its initiative to stay ahead of the challenges, identifying new opportunities, new technologies, new industries and new jobs.”

The former Federal Labor Government provided $39.9 million for the precinct from the Education Investment Fund.

“Labor in government oversaw increased funding, increased enrolments and major infrastructure investment at the Federation University, ensuring it could secure its reputation as one of Australia’s leading regional universities.”
