20.01.2022 (30 January 2020) The University of Tasmania has purchased the heritage-listed Philip Smith Centre building on Hobart’s Domain, home of the University’s sandstone origins, as it plans for its new CBD campus. The building was completed in 1910 and officially opened in 1911 as the Hobart Teacher Training College, the state’s first purpose-built teacher training facility. A group of Glebe residents bought the building more than 20 years ago and formed Hobart Discovery Inc (HDI) ...to ensure the building was preserved and made available for community use. HDI has managed the building since and maintained it with community support. HDI spokesperson Cathy Mayhead said: As a result of our presence in Philip Smith Centre, we have been influential in preserving the whole site for educational purposes. HDI is delighted to be able to hand over the building to the University of Tasmania, and thanks the Glebe residents and wider community for their support during our 22 years of operation at the site. University of Tasmania Vice-Chancellor Rufus Black said: At our Appreciative Inquiry summit in November, we heard very clearly from participants that they wanted to see a future CBD campus which preserves the Domain as a special space as the green heart of our future campus. As home to the State’s first teacher training facility, the Philip Smith building has an unbroken link to education and the community in Tasmania, and as such is a model for the interaction we want to create between the University and the city in the future. After several years of discussions with HDI, we’re delighted to have acquired this building to become a part of that future. Our new CBD campus needs to create a sense of community not just among students and staff, but also with the broader Hobart community, as a place of learning for all of life. The University is currently undertaking a master planning process to decide the future University tenants for each of its city sites. See more

19.01.2022 Thank you Phillip Smith Centre. The Philip Smith Centre has been a hub of community activity since it was opened as a teacher training centre in 1911. It has su...bsequently supported adult education and more recently community education. The building will be handed over to the University of Tasmania soon. Maintaining the property over the past couple of years has been wonderful.

19.01.2022 University of the Third Age are back for Term 1 2020. https://www.u3ahobart.org.au/

18.01.2022 Venue hire restrictions to continue until at least late Nov Suspension of venue hire to Centrally Managed Learning Spaces will continue for the foreseeable future, across all campuses and sites for both internal and external venue hire requests. This allows flexibility to prioritise teaching and learning activities, to effectively manage the safe return of students who need to be on campus to participate in learning activities.... Temporary building closure remain in place. This restricts the number of venues available which can safely accommodate groups of people. This will be reviewed in late November 2020. https://universitytasmania.sharepoint.com//Covid-19-restri
