Federation University Australia is inviting the community, government, industry partners, staff, and students to join the conversation about a bold new vision for its Berwick campus.
Federation is keen to hear about what the university means to them and how they and the university can grow together.
The Campus Vision 2022-2025 launched in January sets out a clear way forward for the university to build a strong and sustainable future across all the regions it serves.
Federation University Australia vice-chancellor Duncan Bentley said he was seeking feedback to help inform detailed master-planning for the Berwick campus.
“Our Campus Vision presents a model for what a modern university can and should be – a strong, sustainable, and thriving university that will transform lives and enhance communities for generations to come,” Mr Bentley said.
“We want our campuses to be places where members of the community feel welcome to come and enjoy.
“Places that will contribute to the character of our regions and improve the quality of life for all who live there.”
Federation aims to embrace innovative forms of education delivery to prepare students for jobs of the future through programs and courses that will drive economic growth and jobs.
New technologies will be used to connect classrooms, people, and communities in new and productive ways.
Place making and engagement specialists Village Well have been employed by the university to manage the engagement activities that will help to inform master planning for each of the campuses.
A two-stage engagement strategy has been developed with the community and key stakeholders to inform a shared vision and guiding principles.
Those unable to attend the online workshops will be able to contribute their ideas via a survey on the Federation University website.
