In recent years an extensive redevelopment and refurbishment program has transformed the campus at Burwood into an architecturally dynamic and award-winning campus. As part of this redevelopment, the University library has been expanded and new lecture theatres, teaching spaces and support facilities have created a modern learning environment for students that retains a sense of community.
The landscaped central courtyard is a busy meeting place for staff and students providing a focal point for the campus as well as a place to sit and enjoy live entertainment on the permanent stage.

Located adjacent to the new School of Contemporary Arts, the Deakin University Art Gallery is part of the Deakin University Art Collection and Galleries.
