If entering the campus from the main entrance on Yarra Boulevard, Quadrangle 6 is on the right; where the campus library is – the Lecture Theatre is to the right of the Library. See attached Burnley campus map and a section detail with the Lecture room highlighted.

Please bring plate of Supper to share or herbs for tea AND please BYO own cup for tea.
This change means we do not have access to our regular tea equipment, so please bring your own cup and lend a hand if you can. Your patience will be much appreciated too.
