Celebrating our colleagues: Sonja Graetz
Virtually everything we do in Infrastructure is designed to make people’s work or study life better. Bringing people together is important, and even more so in the transition to Adelaide University. We are developing a fluid and intuitive gateway between UniSA’s City East and our own North Terrace campus.
New Bonython Hall amenities
New end-of-trip facilities with a shower, toilet and spacious change area have opened on the north-eastern side of Bonython Hall. The facilities are accessible with a staff or student swipe card on weekdays between 7 am and 7 pm via the Napier underground carpark. More information.

The new food and beverage offering on Level 5 of Union House is due to open later this year and it needs a name. Please vote for your favourite from the proposed shortlist. Voting closes Friday 26 April, and the name will be announced shortly afterwards. More about this project.

Napier carpark changes
Construction on Bonython Hall to add accessible toilets is occurring from now until the end of May. During that time, the northern stairs to both levels of the Napier underground carpark will be blocked off. Alternate pedestrian access will remain available via the southern stairs (closest to the entrance to Bonython Hall). Some parks in the underground facility will also be unavailable for short periods. Please follow the signage provided inside the car park. Further information: infrastructure@adelaide.edu.au
Barr Smith Lawns redevelopment
Enhancements to one of the University's most iconic parts of campus are underway. The Barr Smith Lawns southern perimeter will feature a new Library entrance, terraced seating nooks, bike racks, drinking fountains and event amenities. Expected completion is early-2024. Read more.
Union House staircase closure
The internal eastern stairs in Union House are now closed for refurbishment for eight weeks from Monday 13 November. The lift will still operate to access to all floors from the eastern end of the building and the external stairs and ramp will remain open. Contact infrastructure@adelaide.edu.au with any queries. More information.
North Terrace laneway closure
The Union House/Darling Building laneway (from the Observatory to the steps) will be closed from Wednesday 8 November until August 2024. The step free north/south route via Darling ramp and the Union House lift will remain open. For east/west access use the path north of Physics and south of Darling.
Barr Smith bike shed closure
The Barr Smith bike shed north of the library is closing to make way for a new student space. Alternative bike parking can be found nearby in the Horace Lamb bike shed and between Ingkarni Wardli and Engineering and Maths Sciences. All bikes must be removed by Friday 11 August. Further information.
Open Day bump-in
With Open Day bump-in between Friday 1 and Friday 18 August there will be increased noise and activity around the North Terrace campus. Most activity will take place around the Benham, Mawson, Braggs and Molecular Sciences buildings.
Union House room closures
As part of the Union House refurbishment, the following rooms will be closed progressively from the end of May, to enable works to commence: WP Rodgers, Margaret Murray, Cannon Pool, Harry Medlin (North & South), Eclipse and Old Uni Bar (level 5).
