📢 Planned Network Outage at Gatton Library

On Sunday 19 July, a network equipment upgrade will take place at Gatton Library between 7am and 10pm.

During this time, there will be no network services available on Levels 1 and 2 of the library. This includes access to library computers, Wi-Fi, printing, and other network-dependent services in these areas.

We appreciate your patience while this important upgrade is completed.

Explore, celebrate and discover Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art, cultures and stories at UQ St Lucia. 🎨📖

Start your self-guided tour in Duhig Tower (12). Access the digital trail on your smart device to learn more about the artists and artwork, engage with related stories and resources, and take the time to reflect.

Between 6 and 23 July, there will be electrical upgrades in the Duhig Tower at St Lucia campus. We will close each floor at different times.

Duhig Tower will remain open during the works. You are welcome to continue using the open study spaces as usual. These upgrades mean that you may need to:

➡️ access the Duhig Tower or Central Library via an external entry (when levels 1 or 2 are closed)
➡️ use an alternative study space if your preferred study spot is unavailable.

The lift and stairs will be available as usual, and we appreciate your patience during these necessary upgrades!
