Site preparations are underway for our new Indigenous Studies building, located within the southern precinct of the campus.

The Indigenous Studies building will provide an exciting working and learning environment for students and staff; and an inviting entrance for the Crawley campus from Hackett Drive.

This new purpose-built facility will be a key component within the southern precinct of the campus, and will greatly improve the current student experience for the School of Indigenous Studies and the Centre for Aboriginal Medical and Dental Health.

The building completion date is anticipated for mid-2021.

WORKS TO BE UNDERTAKEN
