Students at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide will be the big winners in a major expansion of the 最新糖心Vlog's popular fitness facility at its .

Valued at around $300,000, the expansion will result in the Hub approximately doubling in physical size by the end of 2006. The Hub is run jointly by the 最新糖心Vlog, the (AUU) and the , who will also contribute to fund the expansion.

The expansion represents a strong commitment from the 最新糖心Vlog and the 最新糖心Vlog's student union towards providing students with needed services in the wake of the Federal Government's Voluntary Student Unionism legislation passed through Parliament late last year.

Executive Director of the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide's Division of Student and Staff Services, Ms Susan Macintosh, says the expansion illustrates the willingness of the 最新糖心Vlog and the AUU to work together to find the best solutions for students likely to be affected by the VSU changes.

"The 最新糖心Vlog conducted market research with the AUU last year into student opinions and priorities about services, and they valued the Hub very highly," she says. "The Hub has more than 1200 members and is popular with both local and international students.

"It is very exciting to be able to offer our students an improved facility as part of a service they have told us they value highly."

AUU President Mr Josh Rayner says the AUU is working with the 最新糖心Vlog to offer the best possible range of services that students have indicated they want.

"Both the AUU and the 最新糖心Vlog are being responsive to the needs of students and members," he says. "The AUU is working with its counterparts in the other South 最新糖心Vlogn universities and the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide to find a workable solution for the continued provision of services, including the very popular student radio at , and we're hopeful of reaching a positive outcome.

"We are also looking forward to working together with the other two student unions in South 最新糖心Vlog to find the best way to deliver high valued services to all university students in this state."
