Study Hub Project
2020 Campaign
In response to the need for more study spaces for students, a project to redevelop the existing library into dedicated study or tutorial rooms commenced in early 2020.
The Women’s College gratefully acknowledges the support of donors who contributed to the Study Hub project and, in particular, to name the study spaces and common area. The project was supported by the 2019 and 2020 Student Clubs, each of which contributed $10,000 to create a lasting legacy for future students.
The Study Hub now has the following named rooms:
- Marie Myers Common Room
Marie is an alumna who resided at the College from 1987 – 1988. - Helen McBride Meeting Room
Helen was the Head of College from 1985 – 1990. - Florence Kearney Study Room
Florence has been the Head of College & CEO since 2019. - Sallyanne Atkinson & Louella Windsor Study Room
Sallyanne and Louella are sisters. Sallyanne was the College Council President from 2009 – 2020, and an alumna who resided at Women’s in 1960, while her sister, Louella, resided at the College in 1963. - Jill Pettigrew Study Room
Jill is an alumna who resided at the College from 1967 – 1968.
Before its refurbishment into the Study Hub, the library had a bright red feature wall (visible in this photo in the background, behind the computers) and matching red furniture (to the right of the resident in the foreground).
