The University recognises the likely significant growth in student numbers, research activities
and support staff over the next decade (e.g. enrolment target of 25,000 students by 2020.
The UWA Capital Works Program to accommodate planned growth (2007-2017) prepared by
the Office of Finance and Resources anticipated a major expenditure in the order of
$500million. The current growth and the size of the capital works program justified the
investigation of opportunities for associated savings.
A UWA Accommodation Efficiency Audit was proposed in response to the growth and a final
draft is under review with the view to discuss with key University stakeholders the
implementation of the audits recommendations.
Some planned outcomes of the Audit were –
o to identify opportunities to locate some growth within existing UWA campus sites, rather
than expanding to additional land and/or buildings therefore reducing the University’s
operational costs and contributing to a more sustainable campus management
o to review current building use to enhance space utilisation
o to examine the provision of shaping spaces for innovation, creating a variety of learning
settings, both individual and collaborative, formal and informal.
