Bonython Hall Amenities and Access Improvements
One of the University’s grandest buildings will be made more accessible through the addition of modern bathrooms and end-of-trip facilities, making it easier to welcome the whole community to this Adelaide landmark.

Project details
A sympathetically designed bathroom facility, befitting of the building’s heritage, will be built over the current concrete underground car park steps to the eastern side of Bonython Hall.
The ground level block will contain five all-gender toilet cubicles and wash basins. There will be one ambulant accessibility cubicle and one fully accessible cubicle including infant changing facilities.
The lower level of the block, accessible from the underground car park, will contain end-of-trip shower and change facilities for those using the adjacent secure bike storage.
The eastern entrance next to the amenities block will feature an accessible ramp entrance with handrails under a high-end, covered wood-canopy with lighting and CCTV, providing a safer entrance to Bonython Hall for guests requiring step free access in all weather.
Expected completion is May-2024.
Temporary parking changes
Construction requires the temporarily closure of some parks in the Napier underground car park and the north-western stair access (nearest to Bonython Hall).
When any blue permit parks are closed off, they will be ‘moved’ to other positions on the same level. Signs will clearly show the new locations.
The total number of available parks in this facility will reduce slightly during construction, however the carpark itself will remain open throughout.
The project team are aware of scheduled events in Bonython Hall during Semester 1 and every effort is being made to minimise disruption and ensure that project timelines are not exceeded.
