New to ANU and want some advice? A later-year student looking for a new place to relax? On campus in the middle of a Canberra winter and need to get warm? The Brian Kenyon Student Space (BKSS) might just be your perfect place.
The BKSS first opened in 2011, and is named after Brian Kenyon, a loved ANU bus driver who left a strong imprint on the lives of thousands of students who got to know him over the 25 years he worked on and around campus.
Today, the BKSS is a focal point for all students on campus – a lounge located in the heart of ANU campus to meet-up, relax and re-charge your batteries (literally and metaphorically).
If you want to know more about ANUSA, come and ask the friendly staff behind the Student Space reception desk. We're here to help!

Universal Lunch Hour (ULH)
Every week the BKSS holds a free barbeque on University Avenue for all ANU students. ULH is also a great way for clubs to advertise. If a club would like to host one of our ULHs, send us an email or come speak to our friendly staff in the BKSS!
BKSS Lunch Express
BKSS Lunch Express is a new food rescue initiative piloted by ANUSA. In partnership with Chartwells and Residential Experience, BKSS Lunch Express brings a range of quality meal options to students free of charge every day for lunch.
Hosted at the Brian Kenyon Student Space, meals will be available and labelled with the dietary requirements that they suit at 1pm Monday-Thursday.
Supply is limited and not guaranteed. Meals will be limited to 1 per person each day to ensure the food is as evenly distributed as possible.
Using the ANUSA Balcony for Promotion
ANUSA is located on Level 2 of the Di Riddell building in Kambri. We have a large amount of balcony railing space that we use for promotional banners. The following principles apply to use of the balcony for promotional banners:
- Balcony frontage has priority for ANUSA banners. ANUSA banners are those produced by ANUSA, its departments, working groups or committees.
- Where there is room for non-ANUSA banners, usage is subject to approval by the ANUSA executive and must not be inharmonious with the messaging of other banners already affixed to the balcony. Banners must be of sufficient sturdiness and quality to withstand wind.
- Typically, requests to display non-ANUSA banners will only be approved for ANUSA funded or affiliated activities (ie. affiliated clubs and societies, SEEF funded activities).
- Non-ANUSA banners will typically only be approved if they promote a discrete, time-bound event or activity and if promotion on the ANUSA balcony is likely, in the view of the Executive, to be a substantial assistance in the promotion of the event or activity.
- Requests for non-ANUSA banners to be displayed may be sent to sa.vicepres@anu.edu.au.
