CQUniversity is moving its Brisbane Campus closer to the heart of the CBD, with a move from Margaret Street to 160 Ann Street.

The new campus comprises eight floors of new modern-standard amenities and facilities for the students and staff of CQUniversity.

The location is central to Brisbane and close to rail transport, providing easy access to the campus.

This new campus contains numerous lecture rooms, computer labs, breakout areas, reading areas, meeting rooms and office space. One of the floors has more of a focus on student relaxation and gathering between classes.

This campus includes a 24-seat ISL (Interactive System-wide Learning) Theatrette, the first to be installed in any of CQUniversity's metropolitan campuses.

The boardroom has full video-conferencing facilities, and there are 11 computer laboratories, equipped with the latest audio-visual and computer equipment.

There are 15 classrooms and lecture rooms, all equipped with data projector or LCD screens, depending on size.

The campus is equipped with the latest-standard Cisco Voice-over-IP (VoIP) telephone system, which is being progressively rolled out across all Central Queensland regional campuses during 2011.

The campus also is equipped with the latest high-speed Cisco wireless network, providing comprehensive network coverage throughout the campus for staff and students.  The network connection to the campus is of 'dark fibre' standard, enabling high bandwidth now, and allowing considerable capacity for expansion as the need increases.

Staff should be moving in to the building from February 17, ready for the campus to open for business on February 21. An official opening is being planned for later in the year.
