Office and Lab Allocation

PhD Integrated students are allocated a desk once they have completed their coursework subjects (after the first year). To apply for an office, you will need to contact the Facilities Management Space Utilisation Team via fm-space@uow.edu.au.

Hot Desks are available for PhD Integrated students. These desks are not allocated and are on a first come first served basis. Please note some of these desks have computers and some do not.
The Faculty currently have a dedicated hot desk area on Level 2 in Building 6. Hot Desks are also available in the HDR Rooms within the Library, Building 16. Please see the Library reception staff for a PIN code to access this space.

The Faculty of Engineering & Information Sciences has approximately 100 research laboratories. Access to these laboratories is available for student use during normal business hours and, in special circumstances, after hours. If you require access to these labs, you will be required to:
