Jan Mouton Learning Centre

Address: (map)

Value: R277 million

The new Jan Mouton Learning Centre has set a benchmark for the future development of buildings on Stellenbosch University’s campuses. The Centre is a contemporary, multifunctional learning and teaching facility on the central campus. Its learning spaces were specifically designed to cater for the modern pedagogies developed around interactive and hybrid learning.

The building is located on the knuckle of the primary campus circulation routes, and houses state-of-the-art technological infrastructure for future orientated lectures, streaming, conferencing, and groupwork classes.

The Learning Centre has a low-carbon footprint, includes a greywater system, and ties into a regional chiller plant for air-cooling. Rain and groundwater are harvested, and the infrastructure is ready for a future photovoltaic installation.
