Building works well underway in Gippsland
The concrete slab went in at the start of October
The last of the major building works to complete the makeover of Gippsland Regional Clinical School facilities at Traralgon are well underway.
The breakout area adjacent to the Roger Strasser Auditorium is being extended substantially, so that it can used as extra space when running conferences and sessions. As well as being suitable for break-out purposes, it has been designed for multi-use such as an area to run education sessions and have displays.
Once the new area is completed early in the New Year, work will start on refurbishing and upgrading the existing auditorium. It is scheduled for completion around May 2013.
The work will finalise what has been a major redevelopment program for the School of Rural Health, the Monash nursing program and for Latrobe Regional Hospital.
By the end of October, the extension was taking shape
Construction of new accommodation off-site but adjacent to the hospital grounds early in 2012 enabled the upstairs area to be redone as office space and a new library established. The new break out area followed on and with refurbishment of the Auditorium the program will be complete – at least for now!
