The Co2 Training facility is used for RMIT students, and provides an industry training platform for local, national and international cohorts.

The community apartment and mini ward is a shared simulated space for Allied Health Assistants, Disability workers and Aged Care students.

Students’ practical experience includes daily living activities: getting in and out of bed, using the shower, making and eating meals, and basic tasks like opening doors for clients in wheelchairs, on crutches or with some other form of impairment.

Students also learn how to transfer clients from wheelchair to bed and vice versa. This newly finished practical space provides hands-on training for students.

Mechanical/Aerospace/Civil workshops provide all the relevant industrial equipment for these highly specialised disciplines of study within the engineering sector.

The engineering spaces utilise current industry trends and methodologies on machinery that is widely used in their respective industrial areas.

ITC Lab tour will take you through networking lab 57.6.01 where students conduct lab experiments using routers and switches to enhance their computer and networking skills.

This includes setting up basic networking configurations, VPNs, configuring data centre virtualisation, and troubleshooting common technical problems.

This tour will showcase the Media Precinct and industry grade equipment and spaces. RMIT teaching staff include world-class industry experts who work in broadcast production and live streaming, allowing students to gain industry-level skills and prepare for employment upon graduation.
