RMIT’s Trades Innovation Centre is a multi-million technology-backed facility that supports a training pipeline for northern corridor population growth and infrastructure investment.
The Trades Innovation Centre provides an opportunity for industry to test, learn, trial and demonstrate, and access RMIT’s expertise to solve real-world problems.
Students benefit from simulations, sector-leading equipment and teaching practices, and programs that integrate job-ready and future-ready industry skills.
A modular design with a 1,700 square metre footprint allows for multi-use spaces and zones that can expand and contract as needed. This includes a 2.5-metre-deep sand pit, double height ceilings throughout the workshop and a three-storey training rig that simulates a building during construction.
By splitting the centre into ‘trade zones’, students will learn hands-on skills within view of other trades – leading to a deeper understanding of different trades and how they intersect and complement.
The Trades Innovation Centre is also named Murmuk-nganjin marnang, meaning ‘We Work Hands’, following engagement with representatives of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation.
