The Western Sydney University Nirimba Teaching Facility consists of 20 classrooms and a lecture theatre located in the heart of the Nirimba Education Precinct. The project involved the complete new build of the facility including two levels with all services and AV/IT to create an innovative and contemporary learning environment for students of the 21st Century. The project was a Federally Funded initiative, creating new opportunities for education.
Due to the location and funding requirements of the project, an Aboriginal Participation Plan was implemented on the project. This included consultation of the surrounding Aboriginal Community and providing opportunities for local Aboriginal owned and operated businesses to be involved with the construction and daily site requirements of the project.
