Hawthorn, Swinburne's original campus, is home to the
central administration, and the bulk of its undergraduate
and postgraduate programs. It is also the site of many of
Swinburne's research and training centres.
The Hawthorn campus offers a wide variety of short
courses through the Centre for Business Development and
Training, and also through the various schools,
departments and centres of the Higher Education Sector
and TAFE Division.
The campus has expanded from its original single building
of 1908 to cover a sizeable area from Burwood Road to
Park Street in the north, and across to Henry Street in the
east. It boasts three impressive new TAFE buildings with
excellent student computer laboratories, practical science
laboratories and major engineering technological facilities.
Both TAFE and Higher Education students enjoy the
extensive four-storey library, the bookshop, cafeterias,
sports centre, Student Union and other services. A student
residence and carpark are due to be completed by 1997.
The complex includes an 86 bedroom residential college, 38
two and three bedroom apartments and parking for 680
cars.
The Hawthorn Campus is located seven kilometres east of
the city, and is easily accessible by train and tram. The
campus is situated in the heart of Hawthorn and is close to
restaurants, cafes and shops.
