Strathfield building works

ACU is upgrading the Strathfield Library (Building 602) and nearby teaching space (Building 601) to create modern study, collaboration and learning spaces while keeping the library open throughout construction.

The refurbishment will be staged to minimise disruption. While some library levels or zones may be temporarily closed, at least one library level or zone will remain available at all times.

We'll be posting across ACU's communications channels regularly to keep you informed, and this page will keep all the updates in one place.

Contact the Strathfield Library with any questions or concerns.
