New sport and recreation facilities for Gatton campus
The University has received a grant from the Federal Government of $3 million for the development of new sport and recreation facilities at the Gatton Campus. This grant will enable the University to develop an aquatic and fitness centre for use by students, staff and the Gatton community.
The existing pool complex will be transformed with a new 25m x 20m heated pool and a 12m x 7m heated program pool for learn to swim classes and there will be a new fitness and health centre nearby.
The University has engaged Architectus as the project architects and a project program has been developed that aims to deliver these new facilities by February 2010.
The detailed project program is:
Briefing: July 2008
Sketch Design and Heritage: August – November 2008
Developed Design: December 2008 – June 2009
Documentation: February – April 2009
Tender: May – June 2009
Construction: July 2009 – February 2010
Construction of new School of Veterinary Science goes to tender
The School of Veterinary Science's Relocation Project has reached an important milestone with the University announcing the tendering process for the construction of the new School at the UQ Gatton Campus.
The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Paul Greenfield AO, has identified the project as the University's number one capital priority and has committed UQ's full support to the $95.8m project. Once the relocation of the School of Veterinary Science is complete, the UQ Gatton Campus will be the most comprehensive animal research centre and teaching centre with the best facilities in Australia.
