The Latelab is your computer lab and study space. Your student ID card gives you automatic access to the latelabs at Hawthorn, Wantirna and Croydon campuses. 

Hawthorn’s fully refurbished Latelab is now open, we now have a brand new entrance into the Latelab via John St. This will also give you access into the library during Library opening hours. Come and enjoy the new set up of PCs, print and copy areas, meeting rooms, casual seating and many collaboration spaces. You will also find our friendly Rover team on Level 1 waiting to help you.

  • Your Swinburne ID card is for your use only. Do not bring others in and do not prop the door open or an alarm will sound
