The original campus was located in Hay Street in the centre of Perth, in what was known as "Tin Pot Alley" (the roof of the building was made of tin). The main campus has been located in Crawley since the 1930s. The original building - named the Irwin St Building, due to its former location on Irwin St in the CBD - has been transported to the new campus, and serves as a cricket pavilion and formerly as the Senate meeting room.
