BUILDING
Building 55 (George Thompson Building)
This building was named after George D. Thompson, Vice President of RMIT Council, 1963-1968. It houses the RMIT manufacturing facilities.
In late 2009 the “Advanced Manufacturing Precinct” project began; a renovation and extension of the building’s remaining facilities. The project was complete by 2011, re-using existing infrastructure while also managing to update educational facilities in line with current and future demands.
