Take a look at our state-of-the-art A+B studio, gallery and workshop at our award-winning Geelong Waterfront Campus.
Explore Deakin's engineering facilities at our Geelong Waurn Ponds Campus. The precinct houses some of the most advanced and future-focused systems, laboratories and learning spaces in Australia.
Learn using the latest technology in fully-equipped computer labs and facilities at our Melbourne Burwood and Geelong Waurn Ponds campuses. We’ve got hardware and equipment, specialised computer software in our discovery lab, plus an amazing robotics lab.
Located across our Melbourne Burwood, Geelong Waterfront and Warrnambool campuses, we offer contemporary science labs, high-quality and specialised technologies and equipment, and renowned coastlines and environments.
Located at Deakin’s Geelong Waterfront Campus, our A+B Studio space encourages interactive learning, while the A+B Workshop is fully equipped with enviable access to the latest equipment and tools. The A+B Gallery is framed by floor-to-ceiling windows that look out over Corio Bay – the large gallery space is perfect for displaying and exhibiting your work.
The A+B Studio is a 1050 square-metre space, 12.3 metres high and uninterrupted by posts, partitions or ceiling. The entire space is open and flexible to accommodate your creative projects.
Large enough for groups of 30 at a time, our A+B Workshop encourages students, academics and researchers to experiment with a range of innovative technology, materials and processes.
Overlooking Geelong's Corio Bay with amazing uninterrupted views, the A+B Gallery is a modern open-plan space providing students, staff and researchers the perfect area to exhibit their work, teach and meet.
The facilities help us to understand the design from conception to completion, as well as the processes involved in completing these projects.
Kelly O’Halloran
Bachelor of Design (Architecture)/Bachelor of Construction Management (Honours) graduate
Learn by doing from day one in our world-class facilities. As a graduate, you'll enter the workplace with the skills and confidence you need.
Throughout your engineering course you’ll have access to our sector-leading facilities, including high-tech equipment, at our Melbourne Burwood and Geelong Waurn Ponds campuses.
Visitors are dazzled by lightning bolts, but you can use the Tesla transformers in this impressive lab for electrical-related experiments. Deakin invested over $1 million setting up the lab.
Our renewable and AusNet electrical engineering labs house LabVolt modules, transformers, motors and generators to support your experiments.
Learn about the principles of physics using PASCO scientific equipment for physics experiments on friction, spring constants and projectile practicals, and Tecquipment Load Frames for bending and stress practicals.
The hands-on learning, and having the opportunity to put what you learn into practice as part of the course, is unique to Deakin.

Bachelor of Cyber Security graduate
Our connection to industry extends beyond curriculum and course design to include student placements and projects, research collaborations and our industry advisory group.
Facilities to help you turn digital designs and concepts into physical objects for prototyping, visualisation or end use.
Conduct a range of tests and research into materials, physical structures and objects, and use purpose-built systems to examine our environment.
Our facilities and lab spaces house some of the most advanced and future-focused technologies and systems in Australia.
Our specialised facilities, including the Data science lab and Cyber security lab, combine cutting-edge hardware and equipment with the latest development platforms, programming interfaces and software solutions. Delve into development languages and platforms, programming IDEs, cloud platforms, the latest VR/AR, embedded systems and robotics hardware.
Located at our Melbourne Burwood Campus, the Robotics and Internet of Things (RIoT) lab has the latest in computing, robotics and cyber-physical systems. You can also access professional software products, such as programming IDEs, games engines, VR and content development systems.
An immersive VR/AR technology research space with a wide range of sensory immersive research tools, including visual projection and headsets, locomotion, olfactory, auditory and haptic interfaces.
A space for IT students to expand their knowledge beyond IT software and systems into the physical world. Makerspace is an open facility for students to explore building prototypes using electronics, 3D printing, laser cutting, idea creation and product testing.
Our campuses are surrounded by some the most diverse biological, marine and coastal ecosystems in Australia. You can assess the health of our environments, conduct sustainability assessments and survey wildlife. We also have advanced equipment and dedicated spaces for scientists, like our aquaculture facilities, biomedical and geographic information systems labs.
Located at our Geelong Waurn Ponds Campus, the Crime Scene House is a purpose-built simulation facility where you can develop your skills and knowledge in forensic science.
A state-of-the-art DNA sequencing facility, the Deakin Genomics Centre supports our teaching and research activities, and provides small to commercial-scale support, training and services.
Our fleet of vehicles include twin cabs, four-wheel drives, station wagons and a light rigid truck for towing our larger boats at Warrnambool. Our research vessel, Yolla, has multibeam sonar, GPS and seafloor mapping systems.
Perfect for fieldwork, our marine facilities are located near pristine coastal ecosystems at our Warrnambool Campus. You’ll have access to our Queenscliff Marine Science centre, plus an array of on-campus labs – and our research vessel, Yolla.
Go beyond the classroom; benefit from hands-on, practical fieldwork experiences in our surrounding lands and waters. From Cape Conran and the Grampians, to the Otways and Queenscliff – you’ll enjoy many different experiences from day one.
Be part of innovative research using the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Built Environment’s world-class facilities. We work closely with industry partners and the government to put findings into practice.
