Deakin Centre reaches new heights
23 August 2011
The development of the Deakin Centre on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus reached a new milestone yesterday (22 August) with a topping out ceremony held on the roof.
The new applied learning centre is a joint project between the Trust, Cambridge Regional College and Cambridgeshire County Council.
Dr Gareth Goodier and CRC principal Ann Constantine 'top out' the Deakin Centre
The learning centre will become the base for a range of social care, health studies and childcare qualifications delivered by a multi-disciplinary professional team from CRC. It will also provide facilities for delivering the new Society, Health and Development Diploma, an applied learning qualification for 14- to 19-year-olds. It will be funded by a Government grant delivered through Cambridgeshire County Council.
Two floors within the building will be used by the Trust for staff training.
Chief executive Dr Gareth Goodier said: "I really look forward to the day when we see the youngsters and our clinicians in the Deakin Centre learning or refreshing their clinical skills."
The topping out ceremony marks the completion of the highest structural point of the building which is due for completion at the end of this year.
St.Clair Armitage, director of corporate development at Cambridge University Hospitals, said: "The organisations on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus are here to deliver the best possible healthcare, research and education. Learning and development are vital elements which underpin that philosophy. The Deakin Centre will be a superb environment in which to train the healthcare practitioners of the future. The NHS needs well-educated staff to care for patients. I am very pleased to see the project reach this important stage."
CRC principal, Anne Constantine said: "We are delighted to be at this very exciting stage of the Deakin Centre development and are looking forward to its opening in spring. This project is a great example of partnership working and will provide a superb professional environment where our students will be taught the skills needed for jobs in the health sector."
