ABP building access

Please note that access may take up to two working days to be activated.

Use of cutting implements in ABP buildings

Students using cutting implements for the purpose of creating models should be aware that these useful tools are also potentially dangerous. Only model/hobby knives are acceptable tools for use. Always store and transport your knife with a protective cap in place. If a cap is not available, place it in a container that will not leave the blade exposed. Never carry an open knife in your hand or in your pocket.

There are still some hanger lockers available for hire in the MSD building.

The locker lease period in 2015 covers the academic year of the University of Melbourne beginning in Week 1, Semester 1 and extending to the conclusion of the Semester 2 examination period.
