All students are welcome to visit Boola Katitjin and make it their own this year, whether they are attending classes in the building or not. There are places to study, learn, collaborate, plan and socialise. Take a walk through and find your favourite space when you are next on campus.

Student Hall

You may be familiar with the Student Hall – those great bustling spaces along the middle of the learning areas. You’ll find long spacious tables, moveable seating, whiteboards and kitchens. These areas are a hive of activity and always yours to make use of.

Bring some whiteboard markers! When using this space remember to bring your own whiteboard markers and to clean the board when finished. If content is left on the board, please be aware it may be wiped off. Each table has a number so you can find and share a meeting spot for your workgroup or friends.

Sharing is caring. Please remember to tidy up the shared kitchen spaces once you have finished using them, so they are ready for other students.

Project rooms

Project rooms are located on levels 2 and 3. These are private spaces that students can book to work in collaboration with up to four peers in person, or with remote collaborators. There are 12 project rooms available on level 2 and two project rooms available on level 3.

Get your booking in and get prepared! You can book your project room via outlook, creating a new calendar event. Choose one of the project room numbers in Building 360 as your meeting location. On the day of your booking, it will show up on the room display panel. If a room is not booked when you get there, you can create a booking using the panel on the door and make it your own.

Laptop Lounge

The Laptop Lounge is where you can get prepped for your next presentation or digital learning experience. It’s on level 1, next to the Computer Lab. If the room is free when you are walking past, you can create a booking at the entry door as you arrive.

Bring your group! You can book exclusive use of this space for your group if you have a joint project you need to work on. If the space is not booked, you can also choose to work alongside others getting their work in order too.

Student portals

There are student portals located on levels 2 and 3. Surrounding the student portals, you will find student kitchen facilities, accessible amenities and informal breakout areas with tables, seating and a collection of digital artworks.

Soak up the views! Move out onto the deck on a sunny day and enjoy elevated views over Banksia Court. These will become your favourite places to catch up, chat and enjoy your university experience with friends.

Student Central

Student Central is located at Boola Katitjin near the Northern Plaza entry. You can book an appointment with a student advisor or turn up and use the self-serve computers. Come and visit to receive help with everything from enrolments to study, and beyond.

MyMurdoch Advice is also located at Boola Katitjin. Student success advisors can give advice about your study, wellbeing, getting the most out of university or specialist advice for international students.

Boola Katitjin is a place where every student is welcome, so come in, find your favourite spot and make it your own. Find out more about cafes, artworks and more on the Boola Katitjin web pages.
