Know your CPUT: Mowbray Campus
Thursday, 06 February 2014
CPUT’s Mowbray Campus is the hub of teaching activities at CPUT and houses the Faculty of Education and Social Sciences.
The faculty produces the largest number of teaching graduates in the Western Cape every year, many of whom are now teaching at schools and Further Education and Training colleges throughout the country.
The campus is also home to the Department of Sports Management and the state-of-the-art Human Performance Laboratory. Having started operating in 2006, the lab is used for research purposes as well as to rehabilitate people with spinal cord injuries.
One of the people who are benefitting from the lab’s rehabilitation programme and therapy is Andrew Merryweather who suffered a severe injury to his spinal cord during a widely reported violent scuffle in 2006.
The Mowbray campus has benefitted from a major multi-million Rand revamp and now boasts new state-of-the-art lecture theatres, fully equipped laboratories and a research unit which are all accessible to students with mobility disabilities.
The first floor of Viljoenhof Residence houses a computer centre and students also have access to a wide range of sport facilities.
