KG Busway Lift Project
The Busway Link Project to provide a second lift was completed in June 2011. Both lifts appear to be functioning well, and the project objective to improve pedestrian movement and reduce lift failures has been achieved.
Kelvin Grove Library Upgrade
The 'mid-life' upgrade of the Kelvin Grove Library has seen a complete transformation of the library originally constructed in the 1970's.
With major construction works undertaken including the upgrade of base building services to current compliance requirements, improved ICT facilities, and the provision of a range of formal and informal learning and social areas, the refurbished library has become a key element in the heart of the Kelvin Grove Campus, and complements existing learning and social opportunities for students.
The newly refurbished Library is supplemented with a range of technology assisted learning spaces supporting efforts of all students on the campus, including improved access for students with a disability.
N Block Nursing and Allied Health Skills Development Centre
Through a Federal Government grant, QUT was able to refurbish levels 1 and 2 and provide a new link N Block Kelvin Grove to accommodate a Nursing and Allied Health Skills Development Centre. The Centre was constructed to consolidate and improve the quality of Clinical skills training of nurses and allied health professionals. A particular feature of the fitout is the provision of full scale mock ambulance trucks.
The $4m Project was designed by RAL Architects and Constructed by Herron Coorey. The project has been very successful and has been in full use since Semester 1 2011.
N Block KG
Design work has begun for some further improvements to N Block KG. The focus is on the entry and general student spaces. The inclusion of some HDR student workspaces and some new modern finishes, will complement the work completed on levels 1 and 2.
