UQ Ipswich Library
About
The UQ Ipswich campus originally housed the Sandy Gallop Asylum, which opened in 1878. By 1968, the hospital, known as the Challinor Centre was a diverse facility accommodating 600 people. When the State Government advised in 1998 that the Challinor Centre would close, the University of Queensland announced plans to develop a campus on the site. For more information, please follow the link to UQ Ipswich Campus: Progression of an Institution.
The UQ Ipswich Library is located in Building 8.
Entry to the Library is from Level 2. Information on transport is available from the University's Transport Guide.
