The buildings also contain kitchen facilities, with Kambri’s catering overseen by Sammy and Bella, sisters who first rose to fame as the winners of ‘My Kitchen Rules’ in 2011.

In addition to the Culture and Events buildings, the six-floor Marie Raey Teaching Centre building offers a multitude of rooms and cutting-edge technology for programming opportunities outside of University teaching hours.

This includes the top level ‘Superfloor’ with high ceilings, uninterrupted views across Canberra, an outdoor balcony, and a flexible collaborative environment holding up to 300 people.

For those wanting a dynamic non-traditional space, there is an amphitheatre with tiered seating adjacent to Sullivans Creek, as well as a range of other hireable outdoor options including University Avenue, The Lane, and The Lawn that can be utilised.
