JCPML Renovations

Reading time: 1 minute

The John Curtin Prime Ministerial Library (JCPML), located within the John Curtin Precinct on the western side of Curtin University, recognises the contribution to Australian society of wartime prime minister and international statesman, John Curtin (1885-1945). It is Australia’s first prime ministerial library and is situated on the Perth campus of Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia.

JCPML resides in an iconic building (Building 200A) with significant Curtin heritage. It is a landmark building located at the entrance to Curtin University’s Bentley Campus, containing a dedicated archive and research space focused on the life and legacy of John Curtin.

Building 200A is about to undergo an extension and upgrade to accommodate additional Curtin University activities. This project will also include renovations and a new entrance to the JCPML.

The project is expected to take approximately 12 months, with works commencing shortly. While access to the physical JCPML space will not be available during this time, a large portion of the collection will remain accessible online.
