Directions to the Keith Burrows Theatre (J14):

If you are travelling by light rail, you should get on the L3 light rail heading towards Juniors Kingsford, and get off the UNSW Anzac Parade stop. Once you get off the light rail, cross the road on the left side towards the yellow UNSW Sydney sign.

Once you have crossed the road, walk straight along the long strip until you see a big red building on your right called the Anita B. Lawrence Centre. There is a space walk through the building (but don’t walk inside) and when you come out of the other side the Keith Burrows Theatre will be in front of you.

You can see this building on Google Maps here.

Orientation Day 2 (Friday 3 May)

Students must arrive before 9am (to ensure a 9am start time) at the designated location according to their Diploma stream.

Ensure that you arrive at the correct location according to your Diploma stream. Each Academic Program Session will be a little different depending on what you are studying so it is very important that you are with other students studying the same stream as you.
