1. New Offices for the AAIA in Sydney and Athens

a. SYDNEY

In January 2006 the AAIA relocated from its terrace-house in Darlington Road to prestigious new premises in the Old Teacher's College located within the main campus. The new suite of offices consists of generous administrative offices, a larger library reading-room, a conference room and a library stack.

2. Renovations to the Athens Hostel

Thanks to the generous contribution of an anonymous donor, the hostel has been extensively refurbished over the past 2 years. The kitchen has been refitted with a new electric stove, dishwasher and microwave oven, and both bathrooms have been fully renovated. In keeping with the standards set by these improvements, new high quality cotton sheets, towels and blankets have been purchased, and the kitchen and dining utensils have been replaced. In the near future the washing machine will also be replaced, and a dryer will be purchased. High speed internet access is now available in the study area and it is hoped that it will be upgraded to wireless access by the middle of 2007. To minimize disruption to research, a professional cleaning service has been engaged to clean the hostel.
