Where does the path lead?


The old Rec Centre (1978-2020) is being replaced by a Recreation and Wellness Centre. The new facility will have some nine levels featuring a 1,500 seat show court, a 20 by 34 metre pool and running tracks. It should open in 2024.


The former Human Sciences Building (1971) now Building 201 has been stripped back to the frame and is being rebuilt to house the Faculty of Education and Social Work (currently in Epsom).


Completion is planned for 2024 too.
