Last year, I spent a month living in a town house across the road from the University of Western Australia (UWA), looking at innovation and education. I wrote a series of items "
From a Window over the Green" (the
town-house with the window is now for sale):
Greetings from Perth Western Australia, on the edge of the campus of the University of Western Australia. I am sitting at a window overlooking a townhouse courtyard on a rainy Saturday. Above the trees and tiled roofs the new wing of St Catherine’s College is reaching up to the sky. This week the university received a $15M donation
to further expand accommodation for researchers. The university is
expanding upwards and outwards, but in education terms where is UWA and
Australia's other elite universities going?
