Bookshop / Cafe Albury-Wodonga Campus
A new Bookshop/Café facility has recently opened on the Albury-Wodonga Campus. It is centrally located opposite the main lecture theatre, and with access directly from the pedestrian thoroughfare which links all the main campus buildings.
 |
Purpose
To provide new co-located retail facilities. The new building will become a focus for social interaction on the campus. The Bookshop will include print facilities for students and the Café will be a welcome “coffee spot” and will serve light meals and refreshments to staff and students. |
Reason for the project
The Campus has been without an all-weather meeting place. The old University Bookshop was located away from the University population in an ageing building on the Wodonga TAFE site. The Café/Kiosk was housed in an outdoor tent on the University grounds and had to be assembled each morning. The new Café will provide an indoor/outdoor environment for dining and other functions. |

Funding
The overall project budget is $720,000 of which $500,000 is provided by the Federal Government under the “Support for Small Businesses on Regional University Campuses Program”. The University’s Capital Plan has provided the other $220,000. |
Work Details
The project involved the construction of a pavilion style structure and landscaped outdoor dining areas. The Bookshop and the Café each have lettable floor area of approximately 80 square metres. |
