New and returning Varsity College Durban North students have had the pleasure of experiencing the contemporary, new-look campus.
The building and refurbishing project took 12 months to complete and will see students enjoy a variety of new and improved additions.
The revamped campus boasts four computer rooms and 34 leading-edge lecture rooms, each featuring multiple plug-in points that will enable students to use their laptops during lecturers as well as improved air conditioning systems for additional comfort during learning. To complement the modern design, striking colours have been used to paint the lecture rooms. “We’re well aware of the fact that room colour can influence moods and thoughts and that’s why we decided to use bright colours in the various blocks of lecture rooms,” says Margie Boosey, Principal at Varsity College Durban North.
To encourage more study time while on campus, the campus’ library has been upgraded to a two level area with a computer lab, an enclosed silent-study area as well as a study lounge.
The new look campus also has a bigger and better deli, Sam Browns. The deli boasts a young, exciting and vibrant design that is exclusive to varsity College campuses around the country. “To be the best that they can be, students need to make sure that they eat well. There is no question that eating a balanced diet has a positive effect on a person’s well-being and academic performance. Sam Browns offers a diverse food offering that is prepared with fresh ingredients and served in the best possible way,” adds Margie.
Varsity College believes that a vibrant social life is a crucial part of a full balanced student experience and that’s why the upgraded campus incorporates a sculptured garden where students can unwind, enjoy the sea view and participate in campus events.
“Although the expansion project was a long dusty road for the Durban North campus students and staff, we are very pleased with the final result and both students and staff are taking advantage of the new additions and improved features,” concludes Margie.
