Greg Muir, Building Operations Manager, Leighton Contractors says of the project:
“It’s a fantastic opportunity to work on this for two to three years – a great opportunity for students, to take advantage of site tours, guest lectures, web cams and in the future they’ll see how the project is performing.
We already employ QUT undergraduates, so this will be a great opportunity for them to work with us, going forward. It’s a win-win for both – the students can get involved and work on the project.
