A vibrant student recreation and meeting hub was opened in March this year at The University of Notre Dame Australia’s Fremantle Campus.
The new zone for study or leisure comes complete with an alfresco courtyard, a funky lounge and hammock space, and state-of-the-art study rooms.
The University worked with Fremantle architects, COX Architecture, on the 12-month project to transform Prindiville Hall into a revitalised space for student relaxation and recreation – as well as provide a permanent home for Notre Dame’s Student Association and Student Clubs.

Some of the exciting new features of Prindiville Hall include: a revamped student kitchen, a drive-thru to accommodate food trucks, and a dedicated Student Association office.
The building is named after renowned Western Australian businessman Bernie Prindiville, a founding governor and long-time benefactor of the university.

Professor Celia Hammond, UNDA Vice-Chancellor, said the site had been an integral part of the university’s fabric since its establishment in 1953.
“The redevelopment of Prindiville Hall is just one aspect of the university’s vision to bring further street-front activation to Fremantle’s West End and improve the amenity for local residents, tourists and the student community,” she added.
