“The move of our Sydney CBD campus to Darling Park is a positive change for our staff, current students and future academics, and is consistent with our core mission of providing a world-class educational experience,” Professor Dewar said. said.
“We look forward to embarking on this new chapter together and building an even more vibrant and dynamic teaching and learning environment.”
Looking towards Pyrmont from Darling Park, the campus will be spread over two floors and will include teaching space, a library, student support services and a variety of meeting spaces.
The building includes retail stores and a food court, with direct access to the Cockle Bay entertainment district. It also has good access to public transportation such as trains and light rail.
