The Fiji-based University of the South Pacific maintains an extension centre in Avarua, Rarotonga and provides vocational, foundation and degree courses, some using video links with the Fiji centre.

As part of the Phase III Extension, a test centre and a technology center for machine tool business are also set up, working together with SNC's R&D Division.

The objective was the redevelopment and extension of an existing school – a building made from prefabricated concrete slabs in the 1970s – in the centre of Linz.
