The Graduate Studies Building was a now-demolished building on the Westwood Campus. Adjacent to the New Education Building, it housed a number of different things throughout its life, and finished being demolished in April 2025.[1]

Location

The Graduate Studies Building was located in the eastern-most portion of the Westwood Campus, north of the New Education Building,[2] which it connected to via a bridge.[3]

Previous uses

Like the New Education Building, the Graduate Studies Building contained "WE"-coded centrally timetabled rooms from before May 2015, when WE0.29, WE1.16 and WE1.17 were closed without notice due to potential structural issues discovered when refurbishing the building,[4] until as late as July 2023,[5] although whether they were in use this late is unclear.
