CDU Trade Training Centre

CDU Trade Training Centre

MODE and Charles Darwin University’s (CDU) Project Managers have delivered the new Trade Training Centre to house their world class equipment and technologies.

Client: Charles Darwin University
Location: Casuarina, NT

AWARD
2016
Australian Institute of Architects (NT)
Sustainable Architecture Award

 

The facility caters to students from across the Northern Territory in electrotechnology, refrigeration, instrumentation and plumbing disciplines, delivering Vocational Education and Training courses. The facility sits comfortably within the CDU Casuarina campus whilst having an identifiable presence through the careful use of bold colours and features that have a significance to the students who use the building. A central common space is flanked on either side to purpose built workshops, labs, classrooms and technology areas. The workshops are naturally ventilated and are orientated to take full advantage of the sea breezes and reduce running costs for the university.
