The article uses "former", so I'm wondering what they're currently used as, but I also don't know how I'd search for it. Anyone know? The Drover's Wife (talk) 06:38, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, I was wondering that myself. Although they appear on a QUT campus map, they are not labelled with a building name or number, suggesting either QUT does not control them or thinks there is no reason for anyone to need to visit them. I'll have a look around next time I am over there. Kerry (talk) 21:11, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
- That would be great. It's surrounded by trees, so I can't make out from Google Street View if it's vacant or part of the new Student Village - either way it mightn't be on the map because their student village is privatised.
- What would you think about a different name for this article, though? "Student Residences, Kelvin Grove" seems vague to me as a) it's specifically the QUT residences and the TAFE bit seems most relevant as the history of that, and b) there are a bunch of other student residences in Kelvin Grove/QUT not part of this. If they're vacant, I'd suggest Former Student Residences, Queensland University of Technology, but if they're still part of the Student Village I have no idea.

- The answer is they are not really being used for anything (more via email). As for the name Old/Former would be fine, but I'd stick to Kelvin Grove rather than QUT. As much as anything because using QUT would tend to suggest that they were the student residences of QUT and they weren't. And the buildings don't play any real role within QUT's operations.

- Thanks for the explanation, that makes a lot of sense and I've moved it accordingly. Some of these listings leave a bit to be desired - the way in which it refers to the handover of the site to QUT and doesn't say anything about its closure (though it was clearly well before the listing) left the impression that it had then been QUT's accommodation. I'd love to know more about the history of these old institutions one day. The Drover's Wife (talk) 05:43, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
