J Robin Warren Library refurbishment 

An extensive refurbishment of the J Robin Warren Library - located at the QEII Medical Centre - commenced in early 2017. The revitalisation of the J Robin Warren Library will provide greater emphasis on collaborative study and expanded e-learning capability. Student input has been integral to this redevelopment.
  • Project overview

    This project will see all three levels of the J Robin Warren Library stripped back and completely refurbished. With the nature of student study and learning changing, there is greater focus on collaborative study supported with extensive e-learning components.

    Libraries are evolving to support these opportunities and the refurbishment will help achieve this goal. The new design will introduce:

    • Library for all users - future, current and past students, researchers, academics, alumni and the community
    • High quality education and learning environment, including:

    - a broad range of group spaces for working together on the lower level

      70 seats of quiet study areas on the upper study level

      120 seat e-learning suite and a 20 station computer laboratory

      bookable meeting spaces

    - collection of high use print books and journals.

    • Extensive wi-fi coverage

    This is a joint project with partners including: Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University Library, Western Australian Medical Students' Society, Development and Alumni Relations, and UWA's - Business Information and Technology Services and Campus Management.
