Sky High Ambitions
ACE Community Colleges is relaunching its technology hub, training centre and creative studio spaces – all part of a revitalisation at the Magellan Street Campus in Lismore’s CBD. The project, a major renovation, was given the green light late in 2019, triggered by a combination of business growth and support from the Department of Education and Training as part of the NSW Adult and Community Education (ACE) Infrastructure Maintenance Grants Program. ‘We are beyond excited about the College rebuild and renovation. The new student learning and training spaces are brilliantly contemporary and custom designed. ‘The new infrastructure enables us to offer an expanded lifestyle, work skills and full qualification program. I also see the entire project adding new energy and possibility to the CBD heart of Lismore. There are a bunch of Campus tour dates coming up soon. Pop in for a look’, said ACE Colleges CEO & Principal, Kerry Johnson. 59 Magellan Street 6622 1903 acecolleges.edu.au
