Deakin's Geelong Waterfront Campus is located on the foreshore of Corio Bay in the central business district of Geelong. Originally built as woolstores in 1893, the buildings have been extensively renovated to create a modern and impressive Campus.
More than 1200 students are based at the Waterfront Campus which features a 320-seat lecture theatre, cafeteria, library, bookshop, Computer Aided Design (CAD) laboratories and design studios.
The Dennys Lascelles Building was the subject of a $37 million redevelopment, which has increased the capacity of the Waterfront Campus, allowing the University to provide an expanded range of courses. Included in the Dennys Lascelles Building are the Alfred Deakin Research Institute, including the Alfred Deakin Prime-Ministerial Library and an interdisciplinary teaching and research centre covering political science, public policy and governance, international relations, globalisation, journalism and communications.
Other areas of study include Architecture and Construction Management, Nursing, Occupational Therapy and Social Work.
