EDFAA Library changes
EDFAA Library is reopening 13 April with some building works continuing due to the Nedlands Campus uplift program which is upgrading teaching spaces across buildings on the campus. This uplift program is separate to the Student Accommodation building project.
Until June:
- The library will be open 8am-6pm Monday-Thursday, 8am-4pm Friday.
- The south side of the floor is still under construction and hoarding is in place.
- During the construction period, the toilets will be unavailable on the basement level. The closest available toilets are on the ground floor (G16, G17, and G18).
- Some of the EDFAA collections have been relocated to Reid Library Level 2. The location of materials will be indicated in OneSearch. The remainder of the collection has been consolidated on the west side of the floor.
- Four refurbished Group Study Rooms available in mid-2026.
- Individual study seats on the north, east and central location of the floor.
- Access to self-service facilities, including student lockers, self-check machines, and print/copy/scan machines.
When the construction is complete, the floor will feature:
- Continued access to Student Lockers
- Accessibility improvements, with access via the Education Building lift during operating hours.
- A shared kitchen space available to all students, to be available in mid-2026.
As part of the Nedlands Campus uplift, the south side of the floor will be repurposed as a new teaching facility administered by the Department of Nursing. At this stage we expect building works to complete mid-year. There may be occasional noise disruptions however we will endeavour to keep these to a minimum. Thank you for your patience during this period.
Reid Library Memory Book
To commemorate the refurbishment of the first floor of the Reid Library, we invited current and former UWA staff and students to send in their best memories of the building. We received a range of colourful memories about the Library and these have now been compiled in our Memory Book available here. The Memory Book also features a range of historical photos capturing Reid throughout the years. Thank you to those who contributes their stories.
Improvements and innovation
The University Library is focused on continual improvement and operational excellence, through measuring what we do, benchmarking against others and reporting to the UWA community.
We undertake regular surveys and proactively listen and respond to student and staff feedback. The next Library Student Survey will be conducted in H2 2025.
You can contact us to provide feedback about your experience using the University Library.
