Innovation Campus opening this Friday, 27 June.

The University of Wollongong is hosting the official opening of the first building on its $500 million Innovation Campus this Friday, 27 June at 10am.

iC Central is a spectacular steel and glass design that will form the central services and administration hub for the research and development campus that the University is developing on a beachside location just north of the Wollongong CBD.

Three other major buildings are under construction on the Campus, which will eventually have around 25 buildings and employ up to 4000 people – making it one of the Illawarra’s most significant developments in decades.
