Historical information

The opening of the Complex on 28 June 1991 marks a significant step in the capacity of the Ballarat School of Mines to provide quality, modern, purpose built and comfortable accommodation for student. Funding for the project came primarily from the sale of Ballarat School of Mines hostels owned by the Education Department in Webster Street which allowed the construction and refurbishment at 128-130 Webster Street to became an impressive complex.
