Curtin University is thrilled to announce that the TL Robertson Library has been honoured with the prestigious Social & Community Infrastructure Award at the 2024 UDIA WA Awards for Excellence.

This accolade highlights the exceptional transformation of the library into a dynamic community space that exemplifies innovative design and thoughtful preservation since its construction in 1972.

The TL Robertson Library has been thoughtfully renovated, retaining the essence of Vin Davies’ original Brutalist design while incorporating modern enhancements. The renovation has introduced abundant natural light and expansive internal spaces, creating an inviting atmosphere for students and visitors, with 24/7 accessibility.

Now, the TL Robertson Library has evolved from a book repository into a vibrant, multipurpose community space that reflects the changing needs of its users. Judges were particularly impressed by how the library’s redesign has fostered strong engagement not only among university students but also within the wider community.

We extend our gratitude to everyone involved in the project and congratulate all who contributed to this achievement.
