Smoking on campus

The University of Wollongong and Innovation Campus are smoke-free, vape-free campuses. The Smoke-Free University Policy (introduced in 2016) models positive health choices, raises awareness about the harmful effects of smoking, vapes and e-cigarettes and removes the exposure of second-hand smoke for our staff, students and visitors.

Where can I smoke/vape?

On the Innovation Campus, there are two designated smoking/vaping areas; one is located between B230 and B234 on the eastern side, and the other is located on the eastern side of B236. They are clearly signposted and can be found using the interactive map and selecting Designated Smoking Areas.

On Wollongong campus, a designated smoking/vaping area is available at B12 Unibar, which is clearly signposted and can be found using the interactive map and selecting Amenities.

Users are reminded to dispose of their cigarettes/vapes appropriately.
