I'm not normally used to the University taking such interest in student input on anything. Despite all this, it seemed like a genuine attempt at trying to garner student opinions on the project. As was mentioned before, there is an online survery: http://www.adelaide.edu.au/learning_hub There is a facebook page as well: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Hughes-Plaza-Learning-Hub/185513201755 Which is being updated, and will feature news on the project as well as another avenue for student opinion.

You'll be pleased to hear that there has been a Student Reference Group set up, with student representatives from most faculties, providing ongoing feedback on the designs throughout 2010. There will soon be an installation in the library on level 3 where all students, yourselves included, will be able to write your opinions on aspects of the hub design. On-line surveys are also available, check out www.adelaide.edu.au/learning_hub Steve: in terms of the demolition of Union Hall, you may be confusing this with Union House (which contains the UniBar and is not planned to be demolished). Union Hall is temporarily listed under heritage status... whether it will be demolished or not is yet to be decided.

A new student hub does sound good, however, I don't think that it will built on time. For me, I will be sadden at the removal of the Union Hall (especially the uni bar) and I think that greater consultation needs to be made for the new hub to be substantial to fill new study areas and relaxation areas.

Between Hughes Plaza, the new ECMS building 'Innova 21', the replacement of Union Hall with the 'new science precinct' and the new School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences at Roseworthy Campus - It is a small wonder that they are able to manage all of these substantial projects at the same time. I hope that they are all receiving the time and thought required to make them useful learning and research environments.
