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] The building featured a one-story section and a two-story section, and connected to the New Education Building via a bridge between the first floor of each building.[2][3]

Location

The Graduate Studies Building was located in the eastern-most portion of the Westwood Campus, north of the New Education Building,[4][5][6] which it connected to via a bridge.[3][7][8]

Previous uses

Like the New Education Building, the Graduate Studies Building contained "WE"-coded centrally timetabled rooms.[9][10][11][12][13] In November 2007, WE0.01 and WE1.17 were the only centrally timetabled rooms.[12] In May 2015, the rooms WE0.29, WE1.16 and WE1.17, which were centrally timetabled, were closed without notice due to potential structural issues discovered when refurbishing the building.[9] In August 2017, WE0.01, WE0.29, WE1.16 and WE1.17 were the only centrally timetabled rooms.[13] The centrally timetabled rooms may have still existed until as late as July 2023, as indicated by signs outside the building,[10] although whether they were in use this late is unclear.

The building also contained a "Telepresence suite" in WE0.20 for an unknown period of time including May 2015.[9]

The building also contained "Multimedia Labs" for an unkown period of time including July 2023, as indicated on signs outside the building.[10][11]

Moreover, WMG used the building for an unkown period of time also including July 2023 as their logo was present on the main entrance.[10][11]

The final version of the building's floorplans before being demolished showed it containing

  • three rooms housing a "History of Art Image Library" (WE0.17, WE0.19, and WE0.20),
  • several store rooms,
  • many rooms (including the entire first floor),
  • a few offices, and
  • a server room,

along with the usual lobbies, corridoors, toilets and plant rooms.[2]
