- Maps of UNSW.
CSE and NICTA are at the Kensington campus (the main campus).
Many buildings are named by their grid reference:
letters denote the row and numbers denote the column.
CSE is in building K17, NICTA is in building L5.
(NICTA was previously in the Electrical Engineering building.)
Unfortunately, these maps don't seem to have the grid!
L5 is lower left and K17 is lower right.
- CSE has info about security after hours.
- There is a
security shuttle bus that runs around the campus and Randwick
between 6pm and 11:30pm.
There is a stop near CSE
between the Red Centre and the Mechanical Engineering building,
and a stop near NICTA on Day Avenue.
