THE Hon. David Harris, Member for Wyong said, “The new Animal Studies building will provide 3 animal teaching rooms, grooming and hydro-bathing, laundry, wet lab, surgery lab, practical lab, simulated imaging, aviaries, poultry pens, kennels, dog running yard, two classrooms, store, student amenities, meeting room, and teacher workspaces.

“It will provide a contemporary learning environment, equipped with areas, spaces and equipment that are appropriately provisioned and capable of accommodating long-term skills capability requirements, enrolment growth and animal welfare.

“Construction works are well underway, with the structural steel and roof of the main building complete.

“The next stage is Building to ‘lock up’, i.e. external cladding, doors and windows installed by mid-August 2024.”

Central Coast courses will be consolidated to deliver all animal studies from one single campus at Wyong, either face-to-face or via connected delivery.

The NSW Government are investing $5.4 million to upgrade Wyong campus infrastructure and improve digital connectivity to support the skills needs of the local community.

The new Animal Studies building is due for completion in late 2024.
