Location
Most Hawke Centre events and exhibitions are held in either Allan Scott Auditorium, Bradley Forum or Kerry Packer Civic Gallery (level 3) - all are located within the Hawke Building, 55 North Terrace, UniSA City West campus.
Occasionally alternative venues, such as the Adelaide Town Hall, are used for larger events.
The nearest Tram stop is 'City West'. Parking close to the Campus may be found on Hindley Street or at the Adelaide Convention Centre. Street parking is very limited.
The Hawke Building
Officially opened on 11 October 2007, the Hawke Building includes a number of public facilities (listed below), underlining the importance of community engagement to UniSA. The construction of the Hawke Building had assistance from a number of major sponsors which were coordinated through the Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre. These included significant support from the family of the late Kerry Packer and Allan Scott. The Hawke Building was designed by architect, John Wardle.
