The Cape Town Campus has also been lauded as an excellent example of both sustainability and energy efficiency by Leading Architecture & Design, a bi-monthly magazine targeting South Africa’s design professionals.
The Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) is currently visiting a number of Unisa regional campuses as part of their ongoing oversight and monitoring on the progress of infrastructure and efficiency projects funded by the Department.
On 16 April 2013, DHET had an on-site meeting with Unisa University Estates, the Department of Tuition and Facilitation of Learning and the Western Cape regional management. DHET showed its appreciation for the project in Cape Town, which has been lauded as an excellent example of both sustainability and energy efficiency by Leading Architecture & Design, a bi-monthly magazine targeting South Africa’s design professionals.
“The campus is a perfect illustration of how a green building should be and a good study environment has an impact on the success of students in their studies,” said Dr Glen Mills, the external consultant for DHET.
