Welcome to CW&F

Over the 2012-2013 intersession break, flat-floor teaching spaces on Bankstown campus (in building 20), Campbelltown campus (in building 10) and Parramatta south campus (in building EB) were upgraded as part of the exciting new Blended Learning initiative. This initiative invovles piloting functional, dynamic and collaborative learning spaces for students. The new spaces include mobile tables and chairs, laptop charging stations, state-of-the-art audio visual equipment, projection screens, wireless internet and glass writing surfaces on all walls to facilitate group learning and collaboration. For more information on the Blended Learning initiative and other recently completed projects, visit our completed projects page.
