Australasia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese innovative facilities have been designed following extensive research, consultation and planning with staff, students and clinicians, and it will be a cutting edge teaching and learning space,\u201d Professor Rosenwax said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will underpin new approaches to teaching by allowing us to use simulated scenarios alongside current technologies, thus strengthening the competencies of our graduates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOccupational therapy and social work courses are growing in popularity and the new facility will provide an excellent environment to educate future generations of occupational therapists and social workers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Work on the centre began in December 2009, with The Buchan Group designing it and National Projects WA handling the building duties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>$9 million home on way for Curtin\u2019s occupational therapy and social work
