HDR Central

Welcome to your customised, 24/7 study space.

HDR students at Flinders have their own, dedicated, swipe-card accessible study area.

Here you will find:

Hot desks
Quiet study zones
Bespoke software, such as Dragon Naturally Speaking and various statistics packages.
Small occupancy spaces for communal work.

HDR Central has been designed to cater for all students, especially part-timers and those with impairment. These facilities extend those provided by colleges to their HDR cohort and respond to many of the needs expressed in the Office of Graduate Research’s 2016 Annual Survey regarding the physical research environment.

The space is versatile and has distinct study zones within the one area. There are quiet workspaces which can be individual offices at certain times, for example when students are utilising software and/or devices to enable their research. There are also small occupancy spaces that can be closed off to suit the needs of student groups needing to work communally.

HDR Central Access

HDR Central is swipe card access only. Press your student card to the black panel beside the door.

HDR students are given access to the study space when they are issued a Student ID card. Access may take up to 10 working days to load to your Student ID card

Request access for these spaces.

Location

Room 154, Entrance Level (towards the back), Central Library, Main Campus.

Statistics PC

HDR Central has a dedicated PC with specialised statistical software. It is located within HDR Central, in Room 157.

This initiative aims to give HDR students and staff quick, and easy access to statistical packages beyond that of the widely available IBM SPSS and AMOS or free of charge R (statistical programming language). It is aimed for situations when the software may be needed for a short time making its purchasing not viable and cost-effective.

Book your time on the Stats PC in the same way you would book a Library or Hub study space.
