A rejuvenated, interconnected campus
Close to Central Station and straddling Broadway, our vibrant and connected campus is part of a precinct that is home to the ABC, the Powerhouse Museum, TAFE Ultimo, the International Convention Centre (ICC), Darling Harbour and Chinatown.
Our commitment to future-focused learning, high-impact research, and effective partnerships with industry and community is reflected in the design of our campus.
Over the past decade, our City Campus Master Plan has transformed our campus into an interconnected urban environment that supports excellence in teaching and research. This $1 billion-plus investment has delivered iconic new buildings – including the Frank Gehry-designed Dr Chau Chak Wing Building – and state-of-the-art facilities that give UTS staff, students and researchers access to cutting-edge technologies as they develop the solutions to the challenges of tomorrow.
While the exteriors of the new buildings are distinctively different, their interiors have all been designed to support the hands-on, practice-oriented approach to teaching and research that UTS is known for. The vision for the campus transformation was developed in tandem with the award-winning learning.futures initiative, which aligns future-focused curriculum with informed technology use.
A sustainable campus
The campus is also a physical reflection of the university’s sustainability goals. Our newest buildings have all achieved five- or six-star Green Star Certified ratings, with sustainable design and engineering initiatives a prominent component of their design.
Across the campus, we are implementing innovative initiatives that are reducing our electricity consumption, our potable water use and our waste to landfill. Our facilities support our students and staff to enhance their own sustainable practices through recycling, reducing single-use plastics and using sustainable transport.
