How to read the classroom/lecture theatre room numbers

The letter is the name of the block/building you need to go to, the first number (usually 1 or G) means the level the room is on: G is the ground floor or bottom level, 1 means it is up the one level of stairs. The number after the decimal point is the location of the room on that floor.

Example BG.06 means the room is in B Block, on the ground floor and the sixth room along (please note that there can be numerous entrances to a building, so it may not be the sixth room along from where you enter).

Gathering Space

If you’re looking for a place to eat, some lunchtime entertainment or just a place to relax, head to the gathering space near the D Block Lecture theatre. This is where you will find Campus Living Villages, Coffs Harbour Students Association, Student Support Services, Chaplaincy and the yummy cafe and canteen.
