Campus Development
Our commitment to the transformative impact of education and research is grounded in the life of the city, region and nation we serve.
Founded in 1853 with a commitment to contribute to the civic and intellectual life of Melbourne, our Parkville campus began as a cluster of buildings at the city’s fringe. Today, the University of Melbourne encompasses six additional specialist campuses and anchors three urban innovation precincts: Melbourne Biomedical Precinct, Melbourne Arts Precinct and Melbourne Connect.
Embedded in our place of origin, we aspire to a shared global future with the communities we serve. Our institutional strategy to 2030, Advancing Melbourne, articulates the University’s commitment to partner in the future of Melbourne as a thriving and sustainable global city, and to embrace our place in Australia and the world. The development and design of our campuses is guided by the University’s Estate Plan, in line with the aspirations of Advancing Melbourne.
Master Planning
The Master Planning process will support the realisation of Advancing Melbourne strategy 2020 – 2030 and guide the long-term capital plan and physical development of our campuses and estate.
Our Sustainability Framework
Our commitment to sustainability is deeply intertwined with the places on which our campuses stand, and the network of local and global communities we support.
Indigenous Design
Through our Reconciliation Action Plan 3, we are committed to embedding Indigenous cultural heritage and knowledge in our built environments.
