The Beanland Memorial Library's historic furniture
Living with our history
Girls Grammar’s Beanland Memorial Library, housed in the Elizabeth Jameson Research Learning Centre since 2015, has an inspiring effect. While the building may be modern and the technology current, the library’s 140-year history is preserved and celebrated in the historic furniture that is integrated throughout its five levels. In these furnishings, the students see their past and connect it with their present.
