Current CW&F projects on Bankstown campus
Construction of a new teaching building for UWSCollege
A new three-storey five-star Greenstar rated building will be constructed for UWSCollege on the Bankstown campus. It will be located adjacent to buildings 18 and 19, and will provide flat-floor teaching space and student amenities.
The new UWSCollege facility will provide Western Sydney students with greater study options.
The construction works for this project commenced in early December 2012 and are continuing according to schedule. The concrete slabs for the ground floor are complete and the construction of the first floor slab has commenced. The stairwells at each end of the building will be constructed with pre-cast concrete in early May 2013.
This project is co-funded by UWS and the Federal Government’s Structural Adjustment Fund/Educational Investment Fund.
Access restrictions: The construction area will remain offline and inaccessible while the construction works are underway. To ensure the safety of students, staff and visitors around the construction area, a new pathway and pedestrian crossing has been constructed alongside Ian Smith Avenue, between the P3 and P4 car parks. In addition, a number of car park bays in the P3 and P4 car parks will remain blocked off for the duration of the works. This space is required to accommodate temporary site offices and materials handling as part of the construction works for the new building. As the construction works progress and the space is no longer required for materials handling, etc, the construction fence will be relocated and car park bays will be made available.
Scheduled completion date: 17 January 2014
