Otago Polytechnic is investing in Central Otago’s educational future with a new Trades Hub and student accommodation for its Central campus.

Construction will begin once consents are obtained on the new 600 square metre trades building at Bannockburn Road.

It will house Automotive and Carpentry programmes, classrooms, offices and a common room.

Head of Central Otago Campus, Alex Huffadine, says the polytechnic is very excited about bringing a Trades Hub to Central Otago.
