Postgraduate Lounge Facilities

Dear Postgraduate Students,

As fellow students, we understand the stress and workload that you can be under, at times. Sometimes, a little destressing session can help. We’re always looking for ways to bring a little cheer into your life. 

 In case you didn’t know (yet), the Postgraduate Lounge is located at Building 6B, Level 4 (Room 6-4-52) and is open to all postgraduate students. You are free to use the lounge to chill (no netflix), socialise and relax. There are couches, a TV, DVD player (Home Theatre System), a PS4, board games, magazine subscriptions and a coffee machine among other things for you to use.

Today, we’re happy to announce the revamped booking system for certain Postgraduate Lounge equipment. Previously, usage of the TV, DVD player and PS4 required prior booking. Starting from today, these equipments are free to use on a first come first served basis. The PS4 controllers and games are kept in a safe in the lounge. We will post the safe combination weekly on the MUPA Facebook page. The newly purchased board games are also free to use. You can grab them from the shelf next to the couch within the glass enclosure.

In conjunction with our lounge upgrade, we’ve also purchased some new games and 2 more PS4 controllers (4 in total) for your enjoyment. The full list of PS4 games are:
  • FIFA 15
  • NBA2K15
  • Injustice: Gods Among Us
  • Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare
  • Hell divers
  • LEGO Marvel Superheroes
  • EA Sports UFC
The new board games include:
  • Monopoly
  • Scrabble
  • Uno Stacko
  • Uno cards
  • Chess and checkers
  • Monopoly deal
We only ask for your cooperation to keep the items back in the safe after you’re done with them and to charge the PS4 controllers if necessary. The Postgraduate Lounge is also equipped with 24 Hours CCTV surveillance system to ensure the safety and security of all postgraduate students. As access to the Postgraduate Lounge is restricted to only postgraduate students via a key card access system, we would like to request for your cooperation in ensuring that access is only provided to authorized users of the postgraduate space. 
Should you have any problems regarding access to the Postgraduate Lounge, please inform mupa.welfare@monash.edu and we would look into the issues you face regarding access to the Postgraduate Lounge.
 
Thats it! We hope that you enjoy the lounge as a social space for all postgraduate students and have a great week ahead 🙂
