UNIVERSITY MASTER PLAN - BANKSTOWN CAMPUS

1995 - 1995

The Bankstown Campus of Western Sydney University developed out of the Whitlam era Milperra College of Advanced Education.

What WSU inherited was a hodge-podge of small buildings scattered around a large neo-brutalist main building.

The campus master plan structured the site and created a series of pedestrian outdoor spaces, to be defined by built forms as the campus continues to develop. These are essentially outdoor rooms and hence provide a sense of place and cohesiveness to the campus.

A parkland main quadrangle was created with the realisation of two subsequent projects, the Computing and General Teaching Building and the Joyce Wylie Library.
