STUDENT HUB CONSULTATION

Have your say on our Student Hub proposal to Curtin University!

Should it be a space for Guild clubs? Faculty common areas? An awesome space for students to chill out? You tell us!

Give your feedback

This proposal will require approval from the university before any plans can proceed.

You can also email activitiesvp@guild.curtin.edu.au directly.
 



Background

The Student Hub was originally a proposal to use levels 6 and 7 of Building 201 after the School for Design and the Built Environment transitioned to the newly constructed Building 418.

A proposal was made to create a Clubs Hub, with the long term goal of using all of Building 201 once the Library was re-opened. 

Unfortuatenly, this original proposal was rejected as levels 6 and 7 of Building 201 were deemed unsuitable although the Vice-Chancellor and Chief Operating Officer were broadly supportive of the concept.

The Guild has been invited to engage with the RTIP (Request to Initiate Capital Expenditure Project) process so that they can better understand the concept and find a suitable space.

Proposed Direction

The original proposal identified there are no designated “drop in” spaces for Guild clubs and that a centralised Club Hub will make clubs visible and tangible on campus.


Notable comments from Guild clubs

  • Some clubs have a lot of equipment they need to store
  • A Clubs Hub would allow for more natural inter-club collaboration
  • Clubs should have rooms that are removed from library spaces/classrooms due to noise


Suggested objectives for the space

  • An inter-faculty common room, a place on campus for all students, a place for students who do not have a building or common room for their degree
  • Away to organise by discipline or help people connect with others in their course (for courses/disciplines without their own common rooms)
  • A variety of spaces including study spaces, common rooms (places to socialise) and lockers
  • A place that feels like it belongs to students to promote being on campus and campus culture
  • Specialist spaces available to people outside of a Faculty e.g. Theatre space or craft space outside of Humanities Faculty clubs
  • Drop in spaces for club meetings and events
  • Extended booking hours, i.e. ability to book and hold events later at night
  • A larger event space with capacity for events larger than Clubs HQ
  • Place for clubs to store things and base themselves out of, including more substantial storage than lockers
  • Swipe card access, potentially 24/7 space with regards to safety
  • Student Kitchen
  • Notice boards for clubs to advertise events
  • A space that focusses clubs but is open to all students
  • A space that can be used by non-club groups like Student Councils
  • A sense of a constant space for clubs
  • A place to centralise student-aimed workshops such as self-improvement workshops
  • To target a different area of campus than current offerings e.g. current guild bookable spaces are all near the Guild precinct.


Differs from Library facilities

  • It would be oriented more around clubs, events and meetings than around study
  • Students would be given a feeling of ownership of the space
  • Drop in spaces rather than bookable spaces
