Student spaces on campus

For up-to-date information about studying at UTS, campus access and what we’re doing to keep our community safe, please visit our COVID-19 impacts and response page.

Our inner-city campus is filled with spaces to study, socialise, grab a coffee or have some quiet time, with Wi-Fi connectivity ensuring you’re never out of touch.

All students are welcome in all UTS public spaces, regardless of the faculty or university where they're enrolled. 

We recommend taking a self-guided tour through our campus buildings, to view the spaces listed below and discover your own campus highlights. The Campus Policy can also help you with what you can and can't do on campus.
