The Durban University of Technology (DUT) will on Friday, 22 June 2018,  unveil new state of the art buildings and facilities at its Riverside and Indumiso campuses. This is a culmination of a major revamp at these DUT campuses which commenced in 2016.

The project was built in phases: The lecture venues were completed in June 2017. The library was then re-located to a temporary venue, whilst the new library and computer labs were constructed. The computer lab was completed in December 2017 and the Library was completed in February 2018​.

All three buildings were built simultaneously and were completed in December 2017 (Civil Engineering Block) and February 2018 (Library and lecture venues).

The new buildings to be unveiled consists of the following: 

Riverside Campus:

• ​4 new raked 200 seater lecture venues with lift and ablution facilities
•  Altering and extending the old library into the old hall, creating 3 levels of library space, effectively increasing the library space almost three fold. The lower level, which was the original library became the book stacking area. A mezzanine level was added to the old hall to create computer labs, study space, social space and group rooms.
• The old test venue was converted into a computer lab.
