Fishermans Bend
Building a world-class engineering and design campus at Fishermans Bend
The University of Melbourne has purchased 7.2 hectares of land at Fishermans Bend to establish a new engineering and design campus.
Just five kilometres from Melbourne’s CBD, the new campus at Fishermans Bend will be a vibrant place of large-scale research and project-based teaching that creates interdisciplinary collaboration and partnerships with industry.
Set to open in 2024, the first stage of the campus will feature large-scale research platform facilities for the Melbourne School of Engineering and the Faculty of Architecture Building and Planning.
Located in the heart of the Fishermans Bend Employment Precinct, the campus will allow students and researchers to collaborate with world-leading local and international companies in industries such as aerospace, defence, energy, infrastructure, the built environment, mining, transport and water.
Here, we will drive research and innovation to address some of the world’s biggest challenges, while providing hands on experience and work integrated learning opportunities for our students.
