Southern Institute of Technology (SIT) is excited to announce the official opening of the newly built student accommodation complex located at Copperbeech Road, Remarkables Park, Queenstown on Friday 28 February 2014.
The accommodation will be declared open by Deputy Prime Minister of New Zealand, the Honourable Bill English along with SIT Chief Executive, Ms Penny Simmonds amongst a small but distinguished gathering of dignitaries and prominent business representatives from Invercargill and the Southern Lakes district. SIT Council Deputy Chair Mr Peter Heenan will be present at the opening ceremony to welcome the dignitaries on behalf of the institute.
SIT decided to build this apartment complex to support the increased influx of students into their Queenstown campus. The variety of programmes on offer along with the thrills and adventure of living in Queenstown has seen the campus grow from strength to strength. “Queenstown is a well known tourist destination around the world. Our international partners know of Queenstown, so this makes it the ideal location for international students, especially those that are seeking a career in hospitality and hotel management” commented Ms Simmonds. She further stated that SIT has invested close to 3.5 million dollars to build this accommodation. Ms Simmonds also said that “comfortable, warm and affordable accommodation was the biggest determent for students to study in Queenstown. Our new apartments now overcome this barrier and we can already see the benefits this brings to our students and the wider community in Queenstown”.
This new student accommodation is conveniently located almost opposite the SIT Queenstown campus, only 5 minutes walking distance away. It houses 54 beds located in nine bright and stylish units- each with three furnished double rooms, an ensuite off each bedroom, full kitchen facilities, washing machine and dryer. The biggest bonus for the students is that the electricity costs are included in the rent, making the apartments an ideal choice for domestic and international students alike.
