Just 100 metres west of the UTS Tower, it’s hard to miss our brand new Building 11. Let’s

0:15

face it, it’s big. Really big. But on the inside, it can be hard to find all the great

0:21

new student spaces (and rather easy to get lost!)

0:24

So where are they all?

0:27

If you enter from Broadway or Jones St into level 2 and take the escalators down to Level

0:33

0, you will find the Learning Commons. Open to students from all faculties, the space

0:38

features a mix of desks, lounges, and computers. There are also a number of bookable pods with

0:45

LCD screens to hook your computer up to – perfect for group work. Any pod can easily be reserved

0:52

via the small screen on the outside of the pod or by booking through the UTS Library

0:58

website.

If you head downstairs to level B1, you’ll find more of these meeting pods, as well as

1:04

an informal lounge that all students can use. These lounges are great for catching up with

1:10

friends, studying or relaxing between classes. Similar spaces can be found on levels 0 ,3

1:17

,4 and 5.

1:20

In addition to the Learning Commons on level 0, general access computers can be found on

1:25

level 1 – outside Penny Lane, and in the two computer labs nearby. These computers

1:30

are free for all to use and don’t have to be booked.

1:34

While most of the informal spaces throughout the building can be used by all students – like

1:39

these great lounges with power outlets – there are some FEIT student-only areas. The computer

1:45

lab on level B1 is restricted to FEIT students, as well as the Learning Precinct on level

1:50

5. Located down the Wattle St end, here you’ll find computers, desks, printers and a kitchenette

1:57

as well as heaps of resources to help you with your studies.

2:01

If all this talk of study is making you tired, Penny Lane on level 1 is open early until

2:06

late each day (including to 10pm on Thursdays and Fridays). This new café and bar has a

2:12

great menu and if you’re up to multi-tasking, there’s even a bookable workspace inside,

2:17

complete with LCD screen.

2:20

Still having trouble finding your way around? There’s heaps of new signage around the

2:23

building that will point you in the right direction. If you see this symbol on a sign,

2:28

simply scan or tap it with your phone to find out more detailed directions.

 

Where to find a study space

There are a number of computer labs and study pods around our building, as well as open study spaces on Levels 00 and 1. There are also comfy lounges on each floor, which students can use to study and/or hang out with their peers.
