The Hangar

Wodonga TAFE identified an opportunity to activate increased use of its existing events and learning space known as ‘The Hangar’. This will be achieved by undertaking this project to upgrade and invest in identified technology and infrastructure that will improve the working and learning environment for both its students and staff alike and continue to build a greater connection with the broader community. 

The project’s key outcome is to identify and deliver the necessary furniture, fitout and equipment required to attract and realise increased usage of the multi-use community events and learning space.

• build and maintain productive industry connections and community partnerships.  
• promote creativity and innovation.
