Facilities
The Melbourne GSM is located in a state-of-the-art University building in close proximity to the central business district and students enjoy some of the best facilities available on campus.A New Home
The Melbourne GSM will be moving into a new purpose-built building in 2009, a few doors down from its current home in the Alan Gilbert Building. Located on Berkeley Street, the 14-storey structure will give students access to the best working spaces available, including innovative teaching and learning environments and excellent computing facilities. A 450-seat lecture theatre is the centrepiece of the building, which has been designed to achieve a five-star rating from the Green Building Council of Australia.
Situated at the northeast corner of the Parkville campus, the Berkeley Street building is very close to Melbourne’s central business district, and is well-served by public transport, with tram and bus stops located nearby and Melbourne Central train station only minutes away.
