G10 installation of mobile phone antenna
Posted: May 3, 2012 Filed under: Campus Libraries, Library construction news Leave a comment »Between 5.30 am and 10.00 am on Saturday, May 5 Optus will be onsite installing a mobile phone aerial to the roof of G10.
Work will be completed by the time the library opens at 10.00 am so we’re not anticipating any impact on clients or staff.
Traffic control will be in place on University Drive as the mobile crane is installed onto the G11 construction site.
Further works will be undertaken from 6am on Tuesday, May 8 and continue throughout the day. High impact works will be completed by 8.00 am.

Masters and Slaves – The Pets Battle

The Small Roomers will take on the momentous swathe of the literary canon, writing performance style pieces in response to the literary greats.
Is it possible for a world weary ex-con to be shocked by the Marquis De Sade? How does a young poetess from Surfers Paradise deal with her lyrical love affair with Springsteen? Can a young gay man see his reflection in Dorian Grey? Can a young woman from the Bayside really write a Kerouac inspired haiku to a hard core backing track?
Comic, inspired and challenging, see the Small Room Writers Collective push the envelope on the question of, who exactly are the creative writing masters, and who are the slaves?
