MUSE- coolest building in campus!

MUSE

Have you heard of MUSE in campus?

MUSE is the coolest place to hang out at Macquarie university. 

MUSE is the newest student space in MQU campus that opened this year. With its modern and quirky architecture it is the new favourite space for students to hang out if they don’t like the dead silence and restrictions of the library. It is my favourite place to hangout and study! 

What’s cool about MUSE- Design! 

Muse is a representation of a great 21st century architecture and great use of the repurposed old library. It is very colourful incorporating modern and eco-friendly design featuring repurposed material. The picture on the left are actually old classroom desks, repurpose as wall dividers separating individual study rooms. 

 Continuing on the colourfulness, this is one of the study spaces in muse and it is totally BLUE, perfectly suits its name as the Blue room. Muse has also its green, orange, pink and yellow room

Cool things about MUSE - the PERKS!

Compared to the library, MUSE offers more freedom. There are no silence signs and you are free to bring food and have it with you while you are studying. Several areas are dedicated for reheating food and water refilling. 

If you are tired and needs some break, this recharge area is at your reach at level 2 of MUSE. There is another area with microwaves and a water refilling station at level 2 within the BIG DESK area.

SLEEPY? Did a study session until 3am or had an overtime at work until midnight? No problem, muse can offer you the comfort of your own home.  

Nowhere in uni you can this but in MUSE :)

A lot of beanbags are scattered around MUSE, if you feel like lying on your back go grab one.

Often you’ll see students are too relaxed and comfy on these giant beanbags and treat it as their beds. On a monday, I have this 4 hour break, and i’ll go to muse at around 2 pm and  have a nap:)

As u can see on the left, a student is comfortably lying on a green comfy seat. This is totally fine as long as you don’t disturb everyone else with a loud snore. Don’t worry about security, they won’t wake you up, unless your snore can be  heard 2 blocks away:)

Cool things about MUSE - Amenities!

MUSE is the new home of Student Connect. Student Connect is the uni’s students admin that deals with everything regarding student enrolment, subject enquiries, timetable clashes, concession card issues and any problem regarding your studies.  

MUSE has also dedicated easy access to printing stations in both levels 1 and 2. In 2014, MQU introduced wireless printing, and printing is so much better and hassle free.
