Melbourne Polytechnic’s training facility

Developed on a vacant site, deep within Melbourne Polytechnic’s Epping Campus, the new Glasshouse facility was conceived to demonstrate a commitment to the growth of Victoria’s food and fibre industry.

The objective was to provide a state-of-the-art facility that would respond to the needs, priorities and innovations within the sector, combining theory-based classroom learning with hands-on experience to create a training and education centre that would enable the up-skilling of a future-focussed workforce in aquaponics, hydroponics and modern agricultural practices.
