The Independent Institute of Education (The IIE) has officially broken ground on its new state-of-the-art campus in the heart of Sandton’s central business district.
The campus is set to house The IIE’s Varsity College Sandton and IIE-Vega School Johannesburg.
According to the ADvTECH group, the new campus will cater to approximately 9000 students, providing them with cutting-edge resources and world-class facilities.
It said in a statement that one of the standout features of the campus was the state-of-the-art indoor sports centre, designed to promote a well-rounded academic and extracurricular student experience.
“Within close proximity to public transport, including the Sandton Gautrain station, students will have easy access to a vibrant, dynamic learning environment,” it said.
Louise Wiseman, the managing director of The IIE’s Varsity College, IIE-Vega, and IIE-MSA, said the new campus was part of the institution’s drive for university status.
“The IIE has become the institution of choice for quality higher education,” she said.
“We are thrilled to ensure that thousands more students will benefit from the opportunities that will arise from the development of our new mega-campus.”
Wiseman said The IIE’s commitment to student-centred learning and industry engagement was evident in its emphasis on small lecture groups, interactive facilitation techniques and the use of modern technology in the educational space.
She said lecturers were actively engaged in their respective professional fields and brought industry experience into the learning environment.
The opening of the Sandton campus will be in January 2026.
