TUSA Spaces

The TUSA has a number of spaces designed to help you get what you need from your university experience.

So whether you want some quiet time, need access to a suitable study area, want a space to feel safe, need a location for your clubs or society meeting, or just want to hang out with friends, you are welcome!

All rooms and spaces have student access to University WiFi.

Details of each room and space are included below.

Refectory Steps

The Ref Steps are a well known space where students have been running events for decades.

If you have an event which is best run outdoors, the Ref Steps is a great option. There is plenty of room to move around, meet people, and hang out. The shape of the space also allows for a theatre-style set up with the steps creating an informal staging area.

There is also a BBQ available.

Women’s Room

The TUSA values connection between women on campus, and has a dedicated women’s space in Sandy Bay which is perfect for relaxing with like-minded women, and building networks and a sense of belonging.

The Women’s room is a pleasant sunny space with tea and coffee making facilities, comfy lounges, bookshelves stocked with books written by and about inspiring women, and an iPad to catch up on the day’s events.

Queer Space

The Queer space is a dedicated space for LGBTI+ students.

It is a comfortable, quiet space where students can relax and build lasting connections and community.

The Queer Space has lounges, magazines, LGBTI+ information, and is close to kitchen and bathroom facilities.

Family Room – Sandy Bay

We want students of all ages and family situations to be able to enjoy their university experience, and get what they need from it.

We understand that it can be a challenge balancing parenthood and study, so we have a space especially for families.

Located in the TUSA Building, the Family Room is a quiet space located away from the busy central areas, but close to kitchen and bathroom facilities. The room includes a cot, lounge, change table and toys.
