The RD Watt Building is located on Science Road at the northern Parramatta Road boundary, a two-minute walk to your left as you enter campus via the Ross Street Gate. The building is a recently refurbished sandstone building, next to the new Social Sciences building.
Event and meeting spaces are located on Level 2, on the ground floor as you enter. The Sydney Policy Lab offices are located on Level 5.
There is limited parking a five-minute walk away near the Charles Perkins Centre, as well as some street parking throughout the back streets of Glebe across Parramatta Road. Generally, parking is on a 'first serve' basis. Please contact us if you require accessibility parking on campus.
We strongly recommend travelling here by public transport.
