Dr David Clark, Labour MP for Dunedin North, and Dr Megan Gibbons, Otago Polytechnic Chief Executive, unveiled the project at a public gathering at the Dunedin Campus on Friday 24 July.
Otago Polytechnic submitted the $31.7 million Trade Training Centre project earlier this year in response to the Government’s call to develop “shovel-ready” projects, aimed at stimulating and supporting economic activity in the city and region.
