Transforming the Whitlam Library at Parramatta South Campus
Welcome to the next chapter of academic excellence and community collaboration. At Western Sydney University, libraries are more than a collection of books, they’re dynamic spaces for connection, creativity, and collaboration. Through our Library upgrade project, commencing with the reshaping of the Whitlam Library, we’re creating a beacon of innovation, and inspiration that empowers students and researchers to reach their full potential.
Building for Success
Driving Innovation and Excellence: The Library Learning Hub will position Western Sydney University at the forefront of education, research, and engagement. It will be a space where students, staff, and researchers come together to create, share, and apply new knowledge.
Versatile and Inspiring Environment: The revitalised library will offer a mix of study and workspaces—from quiet zones for individual focus to collaborative areas for group learning. It will foster a culture of scholarship and excellence across diverse learning and research activities.
Academic and Student Collaboration: Designed as a technology-rich hub, the library will support flexibility, collaboration, and accessibility. Modern tools, adaptable environments, and seamless access to digital resources will empower students and researchers alike.
Technology-Rich and Flexible Learning: The Hub will integrate advanced technologies with physical and digital collections, creating an adaptable environment for scholarly engagement and innovation.
Digital Connectivity and Access: Innovative solutions will connect students, staff, and researchers to expansive collections—making knowledge more discoverable, engaging, and accessible than ever before.
