How can I turn the air-conditioning up/down?

The air-conditioning is set at a level by building maintenance. It is not controlled by Victoria Square staff.  The space can become very warm or draughty depending on where you are sitting.

There is an after-hours air conditioning button on each of level provided by the University.

• Level 1 - in the main corridor between class rooms.
• Level 2 - by the left hand entrance as you come out of the lifts.
• Level 10 - in the main corridor between the classrooms.

These buttons can be pressed to turn the supplementary air con on after hours and on the weekends when the building air con is not programmed. In the smaller rooms it can help to have the door open to allow air flow when it gets too warm.

Can I bring Children on to University Premises?

Parents/carers may request approval to bring their children to work, classes or study areas where there are sudden and/or unexpected difficulties with childcare arrangements. Approval should be obtained from a supervisor/lecturer for the child to attend work/classes/study areas. The University expects that parents will not routinely bring children to work, classes or study areas as an alternative to organised childcare. Refer to the WHS children on university premises page for more information. Children should be supervised at all times.
