The ACT Government is committing to an additional $8 million for additional fit-out components and equipment at the new CIT Campus in Woden.

The campus will be Canberra's largest new education facility enabled by smart technology. The equipment and digital learning tools will allow students to learn online and in person.

The campus will have:

• augmented hearing systems
• camera tracking capability
• video conferencing equipment
• LED wall displays
• smart screens
• microphones
• amplifiers
• speakers.

Other features will include:

• modern commercial workstations
• appliances
• a demountable stage
• creative art equipment.

This equipment will give students an enhanced learning experience. Smart classrooms, simulated learning environments and hands-on training spaces will help them gain skills in areas such as IT, cybersecurity, hospitality and business.

The new digitally enabled campus will give students the opportunity to collaborate with local industry in a real-world commercial environment. This will help them be job ready.

The campus will open in 2025 and will welcome 6,500 students each year. It will include a new light rail ready public transport interchange. This will create more business, employment and education opportunities in the Woden Town Centre.

The campus buildings are also some of Canberra's more sustainable buildings. A cross-laminated timber frame is being installed in the main building, contributing to the project's 6 Green Star Rating. The timber materials in the buildings will lead to a 59 per cent reduction in carbon emissions.

A second crane has also now been assembled, as construction ramps up across the new campus site. The crane was named 'Moon Lifter' by Woden school children and joins first crane, 'Sir Lifts a Lot'.

Canberrans can expect to see the main building 'top out' in the second half of this year.
