UWA's excellent facilities enable students to achieve high-quality research.

These facilities include:

Science Library

The Science Library incorporates the latest technology to promote student learning and world-class scientific research. There are soundproof study rooms with electronic white boards, specialist multimedia suites and an Access Grid classroom that allows classes to be shared in remote areas and overseas over high speed networks.

Shenton Park Field Station

The 67-hectare Shenton Park Field Station, which is only 15 minutes from campus, has a variety of facilities for both plant and animal biologists, including Australia’s largest aquaculture facility.

Physics workshop

The Physics workshop contains an impressive array of high-precision machinery that has been assembled over many years. They specialise in precision machining, ultra-high vacuum and cryogenic design and fabrication to aid in research within the School.

Plant-growth facility

A well-equipped plant-growth facility on campus includes many glasshouses, a cold room, plant-handling and teaching areas, as well as soil pasteurisation equipment and other resources for research.

CELLCentral

CELLCentral, within the School of Anatomy and Human Biology, offers an Australian-first combination of state-of-the-art histology, biological preparation, imaging and analysis equipment and services for both research and student use.

Centre for Microscopy, Characterisation and Analysis

Through the Centre for Microscopy, Characterisation and Analysis, UWA enables research excellence by providing world-class microscopy and microanalysis facilities, including our unique pair of ion probes, the IMS 1280 and NanoSIMS 50, which offer world-exclusive analytical capabilities to Australian and international researchers.

Edward de Courcy Clarke Earth Science Museum

The Edward de Courcy Clarke Earth Science Museum is a valuable resource housed in the historic Geology building. It is home to a thesis library, scientifically-important mineral, rock, fossil and meteorite specimens and a modern exhibition area for students and the public, to stimulate and satisfy their interest in Earth science.
