    • Universities

    Tertiary Education is one of the growth industries for Australia, and competition for undergraduate and post-graduate students, and researchers is high. Student populations are growing and teaching and learning modes are changing. We understand that new or expanded educational research and extra-curricular facilities need to have an edge, as well as the benefits of collocated campuses.

    We are familiar with these drivers and trends, and have worked successfully with leading tertiary institutions in project planning, feasibility, business cases, industry partnerships, project management and equipment procurement.
