The University of Melbourne’s Werribee campus will be redeveloped to create a state-of-the-art facility for our clients, students, staff and wider community.

A new five-storey learning and teaching building will improve the delivery of the University’s world-class veterinary education. Housing cutting edge equipment, and purpose-built spaces, including sitting areas open to the public and a new café.

Part of the redevelopment also includes the upgrade to the U-Vet Animal Hospital, which provides world-class treatments for pets as well as the best possible hands-on clinical experience for students.

A new emergency area, separate waiting areas for different species and additional consultation rooms are just some of the additional new features. There will also be new landscaped gardens with improved pedestrian access and an upgraded car park.

Throughout the construction, U-Vet will continue to operate 24-hours and to provide the same high-quality medical care for animals. Learning, teaching and research activities will also continue. Any changes will be clearly signed and alternative parking will be provided.

The Werribee Redevelopment has been designed in consultation with veterinarians with expertise in animal behaviour. The project aligns with the aspirations of the University and the Victorian Planning Authority and Wyndham City Council.
