Abstract

Place is material, conceptual and symbolic. Physically, the Library at Townsville College of Advanced Education was central, visible and distinctive. Internally, it provided a dramatically different environment from other college buildings. It functioned as the (metaphorical) 'hub' of the external studies programme and, when the college was under threat, it formed a symbolic rallying point.
