Boola Katitjin

Enhancing your uni experience

Boola Katitjin combines modern, sustainable design and digital technology to bring you the best possible student experience. The building features the first Tech-Enabled Learning (TEL) desks in the country, allowing students to connect with any device, collaborate with their group, and present and share with the class their work from anywhere in the world.

With student well-being at its heart, the building follows biophilic design principles, connecting occupants to nature, through features such as expansive views over the Beeliar wetlands and the breezeways which allow for natural ventilation. It also has two new food and beverage outlets as well as universal accessibility and inclusive design including all gender amenities and parents’ rooms.

About the project

There is extensive areas for informal ‘peer to peer’ learning, student services and a series of innovative research and industry engagement spaces.

The largest Mass Engineered Timber (MET) building in Western Australia, Boola Katitjin plays a key role in the University’s new strategy, Building a Brighter Future, Together - Ngala Kwop Biddi, reflecting its three pillars of Sustainability; Equity, Diversity and Inclusion; and becoming the University of Choice for First Nations people.’
