Curtin TL Robertson Library

Curtin – TL Robertson Library

Completed 2023 Originally built in 1972, the TL Robertson Library has been an important part of student life at the Bentley Campus for decades. The refurbishment has transformed the library into its next evolution as a place of digital innovation and collaboration. The library has a significant presence on campus, not just as its largest building but its cultural heart, providing a prime opportunity to make a difference to the Curtin community. Enhanced features include flexible teaching spaces, individual and group study areas, a makerspace for creative activities,an AV-production room for content creators, and an event space.

The design focuses on preserving the library’s iconic brutalist architecture, whilst creating additional internal spaces that will facilitate learning, knowledge sharing and collaboration.

The project included the replacement and relocation of all end-of-life building services from Level 7 plantroom to a new external services tower. This allowed 2,118m² of new library space to be added to Level 7, in addition to the 15,000m² of refurbished areas
