Situated on Level 3 of the Lionel Bowen Library, Maroubra, The Third Space is an exciting new creative space that supports library programs in the areas of art, content creation and technology.

Our state-of-the-art space is a Makerspace, which is a collaborative workspace for making, learning, exploring, and sharing, that uses high tech to no tech tools.

The space is completely configurable with rolling furniture that can be placed in any formation, including rolling height adjustable tables and chairs for sit or stand, as well as pull-down ceiling power for powering equipment without tripping hazards.
