A new video has been released to showcase this state-of-the-art public education and transport hub.
20 March 2024
Construction is ramping up at CIT Woden with Canberrans invited to suggest names for the three public green spaces surrounding the main building.
A new video has also been released to showcase this state-of-the-art public education and transport hub. This helps the community picture these new areas and understand how the campus will interact with the new public transport interchange.

The first of the three public spaces is a 169-metre-long boulevard running east-west. It features native landscaping and forms a critical pedestrian link between the interchange and the town centre. This central corridor will include a series of spaces for public seating, outdoor dining, and retail frontage.
Situated at the northern end of the CIT Woden campus is a sunny 3700 square metre break out space for students and the public to enjoy. It includes canopy trees and gardens providing wind and sun protection, as well as dog clean-up facilities.
The third public space at the western end is a welcoming 1295 square metre plaza. It is surrounded by a mix of native and non-native planting and features a gathering and ceremony space. There is also seating with charging ports, accessible paths and featured paving.
Naming these spaces is an opportunity to connect people and places. It will also help to provide signage and wayfinding for students, staff and visitors across the CIT Woden Campus.
The following themes are a guiding framework to help the public to think about possible names.
- First Nations
- Innovation
- Education
The community can put forward names under a single theme for all three public spaces or mix and match spaces, themes, and names.
Canberrans can submit their naming suggestions on the ACT Government's YourSay page. You can also present their ideas in person at pop-up information sessions being held at Westfield Woden, CIT Reid and CIT Bruce.
A short-list of names will be reviewed by the CIT Woden place naming committee including representatives from First Nations advisory groups. The chosen names will be revealed later this year.
With CIT Woden Campus opening in 2025, the community won't have to wait long to start enjoying the public plazas and green spaces around the precinct.
Place naming consultation will run until the end of April 2024. Place naming consultation will run until the end of April 2024.
