The state-of-the-art precinct at our Melbourne Burwood Campus enables both teaching and research to come to life. The $26 million precinct is home to labs of all shapes and sizes for researchers and students across our information technology, health and science disciplines to work and study in.
Students now have access to three new teaching laboratories worth $5.7 million: an environmental science teaching laboratory, a PC-2 laboratory, and a multi-purpose biological science laboratory. These new spaces teach the next generation of bio-medical, ecological and environmental scientists how to solve global issues.
Six state-of-the-art laboratories in emerging technologies offer students a chance to develop industry-relevant skills in emerging areas of IT such as robotics, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, cyber security and virtual reality. These new spaces have specialised equipment and infrastructure used in top-tier technology companies to explore design, development, and production.
State-of-the-art simulation spaces at our Melbourne Burwood Campus include responsive simulated patients, enabling access to facilities replicating the healthcare environment. Our nursing and midwifery students undertake simulation activities as part of their learning in the new spaces to develop skills and confidence in ensuring safe and quality patient care.
The precinct aims to attract students in all three fields of study with state-of-the-art technology and teaching spaces, enhancing the job readiness of graduates by:
The Health E‐technologies Assessment Lab (HEAL) evaluates digital health technologies and applications. It creates a framework for Australian health providers to review, promote and support new digital health apps used by patients and the public.
The Emerging and Education Technologies Innovation Lab (EETIL) houses large-scale, virtual reality infrastructure and immersive projection mapping facilities. The facility is focused on sensory immersion to solve accessibility challenges experienced by people living with a disability.
This project includes co-contributions from the Victorian Higher Education State Investment Fund (VHESIF).
AquaFI Lab research focuses on sustainable fish production and novel feed and aquaculture technology development.
An innovative research centre focused on advanced battery prototyping and commercialisation.
Deakin’s $9 million Genesis Simulator is the only one of its type in Australia. It offers an immersive simulation experience via a 360-degree, 5-metre-high screen and variable virtual worlds.
One of Australia’s first facilities equipped to manufacture new hydrogen technologies, Hycel is translating research and development into clean energy and transport innovation.
Our Waurn Ponds Campus environment is a ‘living laboratory’ for applied research, it includes a network of ponds, and constructed wetland and irrigation systems.
Australia’s unique advanced manufacturing innovation hub that helps businesses to accelerate success through its unique facilities, programs and services.
