Health and Education

The Centre for Health and Clinical Education

The Queensland University of Technology Health and Recreation Centre, located at 44 Musk Avenue, has opened its doors and brings health services and facilities for physical activity and business to the centre of the Kelvin Grove Urban Village.

In residence since April 2008 are the laboratories and processing facilities for the Australian Red Cross Blood Service which process blood products for use in Queensland hospitals.

Opening to the public on 21 July are the QUT Health Clinics in Optometry and Podiatry. The Human Movement, Nutrition and Dietetics, Psychology, Family Therapy and Counselling teaching clinics will open progressively over the second half of the year and will be fully operational in early 2009.

The Physical Activities centre, which will also open later this year, includes an indoor 25-metre pool, a gymnasium and a multi-purpose indoor sports court. The sports venues will be used for teaching and research by the University and will also be open to the public.

In addition, the Centre has a retail front with shops along Musk Avenue and a further 3,000 square metres of commercial space available for lease.

The Queensland Academy for Creative Industries

The Queensland Academy for Creative Industries now resides in its state-of-the-art facility on the corner of Musk Avenue and Blamey Street, in the heart of the Village.

The Academy's vision is to be a world-class, learning environment of choice for the aspirational creative generation. An Education Queensland initiative, established in collaboration with the Queensland University of Technology, the Academy provides an environment for higher level learning for students in Years 10 to 12.

Through the pursuit of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program and enriched and extended learning opportunities, Academy students are challenged by cutting-edge research, real student leadership and inquiry.
