Edith Cowan U is expanding at its Joondalup campus, again, announcing a $48m “science facility” there. The five-story building will accommodate science, medical and nursing courses plus two floors for scientists and students “to engage with the cyber security industry.” Last year ECU was the lead partner in the successful bid for a cyber security CRC and in 2016 it shared federal funding for an “academic centre of cyber security excellence.” (CMM September 25 2017).

ECU bought a nine-hectare development site adjacent to the Joondalup campus in August.
