UOW’s Sydney CBD campus to relocate to Darling Park

New harbourside campus will provide world-class teaching and research facilities in the heart of Sydney

The University of Wollongong’s (UOW) Sydney CBD campus will relocate from the Gateway Building in Circular Quay to Tower 1 in Darling Park, adjacent to Darling Harbour.

The new harbourside study space is freshly fitted-out and ready for students to begin classes in August for the start of Trimester 3.

The relocation represents a strategic choice to support UOW students from across metro Sydney, ensuring we are bringing a high-quality education experience to students where they are.

UOW Interim Vice-Chancellor and President Professor John Dewar AO welcomed the move, which will provide updated teaching and research facilities while keeping the UOW Sydney CBD campus in the heart of the city.

“The relocation of our Sydney CBD campus to Darling Park is a positive change for staff, current students and future scholars, and aligns with our core mission of providing a world-class educational experience,” Professor Dewar said.

“We look forward to embarking on this new chapter together and creating 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 feature teaching spaces, a library, student support services and a variety of meeting spaces.

The building features retail outlets and a food court and connects directly to the entertainment precinct of Cockle Bay. It is well-serviced by public transport, including train and light rail.

Initially, the UOW Sydney CBD Campus will offer postgraduate business degrees from UOW’s Sydney Business School, with additional course offerings added over time.
