The lounge comes equipped with kitchen facilities (great for heating up your lunch!), lounge spaces, extra study desks and computers.
Sacred Garden
Known as the quietest spot on campus, the Sacred Garden is a safe space for students to take a breather and find a place for thought, prayer or meditation. Thanks to an arts grant from the local council, a mandala was constructed on the path.

Teaching spaces have been customised for the study and analysis of human body systems including circulatory, respiratory, metabolic systems at rest and during exercise. Equipment includes ergometers (bikes/treadmills), metabolic cart, and lifting platform.
Biometric Track
A running track flows through the Health Sciences Building to teach mechanics for movement, applied biomechanics, motor control, motor learning and more. The lab provides for biomechanical analysis of movement with an infrared motion-capture system and synchronised force plate.
Personal Skills Lab
The personal skills lab is suitable for small group learning in mental health, exercise psychology and Indigenous health.
Gathering Space

An occupation is any task, activity or routine that is important, meaningful and relevant to a person. It could be something done at work, at home or out in the community. It could be a task that is part of paid employment, a leisure activity or personal care tasks such as eating, drinking or dressing.
Occupational therapists adapt spaces and equipment to help people overcome obstacles to these goals.

Supervisors observe students through a control room booth, replicating the autonomy of a real-world situation with the capacity for assessment and feedback.
Simulation Lab Midwifery
Midwifery training in action with simulation mannequins that put students through their paces. The simulation labs are a highlight for Coffs Harbour midwifery students, assisting in the transition to professional health environments.
Aunty B Ballangarry Yarning Circle
Using an ancient, supportive Indigenous model for experiencing uncertainty, grief, recovery, gratitude and comfort, Circle is based on the powerful simplicity of traditional cultural practices. The concept comes from a time when community engaged through sitting together, yarning up, holding sacred ceremonies and meetings and where listening to stories and respecting Elders was customary.
Circle Work is a group practice of deep inner listening, self-reflection and accountability where participants undertake a journey of empowerment, recovery and growth. This process is simple, non-threatening and a co-creation by all who are present.
Elder Aunty Bea Ballangarry says,
‘I’ve been holding circles now for 30 years, and this is the first one on an education campus.’
The EEG Lab
This lab contains electroencephalogram (EEG) testing equipment that is used to detect electrical activity in the brain and how it responds to various stimuli.
Southern Cross University is ranked number one in the country for Psychology by both the Federal Government’s QILT rankings and the Good Universities Guide.

Every year Psychology Honours students hold a conference to present their research.
“Studying Honours in Coffs got me hooked on the incredible lifestyle. There is such a strong sense of community in both the university and the town and we just don’t have that in Sydney. Now that I’m back (in Sydney) I spend a lot of my time trying to recreate that Coffs experience."
Rachel Clark, Psychology Honours graduate
