The Australian Lutheran College (ALC) library will have a new home at 22 Pulteney Street, Adelaide.
The announcement comes after months of searching for new premises by ALC and the LCANZ’s Churchwide Office. Both entities will relocate to the new LCANZ Church House at 139 Frome Street, Adelaide, this year. However, that building, like most in the Adelaide CBD, is not constructed to carry the weight of large library collections.
The search, which ALC Principal Tim Stringer said had been ‘a challenging process,’ included Matt Brew-Bevan (LCA Senior Property Adviser) reviewing approximately 30 properties based on the college’s criteria for the new library location, and undertaking approximately 20 test-fit assessments.
The process of moving from the current North Adelaide location has begun, with settlement on the existing ALC property scheduled for 30 June 2025. ‘The new location promises to offer quality facilities, ensuring that the library continues to serve the community effectively,’ Dr Stringer said. He said the prominent position in Adelaide would provide continued access to the library for students and professionals and provide potential for greater community engagement.
As part of a farewell to the ALC’s North Adelaide site, Australian Lutheran World Service (ALWS) and the college will co-host a Walk My Way event on 3 May on the ALC grounds. Walk My Way is a community event designed to raise awareness and funds to support children affected by war and poverty. The 3 May event will also offer a unique opportunity for participants to walk through the ALC campus and bid farewell to a site that has served the Lutheran community for a century.
‘This event not only supports the work of ALWS but provides an opportunity for those who have been connected with the campus over the past century to visit, reminisce and say their farewells,’ Dr Stringer said.
