Fishermans Bend Campus

Fishermans Bend

Building a world-class engineering and design campus at Fishermans Bend

The University of Melbourne has purchased 7.2 hectares at Fishermans Bend  to build a new campus for engineering and design.

Set to open in 2024, the campus will be a vibrant place of large-scale research and project-based learning, creating new opportunities for cross-disciplinary collaboration and partnerships with industry.

Just 5 kilometres from the CBD, located in the heart of the Employment Precinct, industrial-scale facilities will expand the practical capabilities of the Melbourne School of Engineering and the Faculty of Architecture Building and Planning.

Students and researchers will collaborate on project-based research with local and international companies in industries such as aerospace, energy, infrastructure, design, built environment, defence, mining, transport and water. Together, we will solve global challenges to realise a sustainable and resilient future.
