The first University to be constructed in Australia, previously those
wishing to obtain a university education were required to travel abroad. The
university is a heritage cultural landscape containing buildings of
exceptional individual value set within a designed landscape with large
areas enclosed by a historic fence. The place developed into a series of
precincts each with a special character. The continuing function of the
institution as a University is also of exceptional cultural significance. An
important Sydney landmark, containing what is probably the most significant
group of Gothic Revival buildings in the country.
The Act to incorporate and endow the University was passed in 1850 and the
infant institution was temporarily accommodated in the defunct Sydney
College building. By 1853 a site for the University and four denominational
colleges had been selected at the Grose Farm, south of Parramatta Road.
The first buildings were constructed on a ridge looking towards Sydney. In
the hollow to the west of the ridge were located the ovals and the
individual colleges. A Medical School was established that was associated
with the development of the nearby teaching hospital, Royal Prince Alfred
Hospital. The hospital is located to the west of the University campus,
between two of the colleges. The Medical school was originally intended to
be sited between the two institutions however a more prestigious site
adjacent to the main quadrangle was selected. Gradually more faculties were
added. The original formal approach to the east of the main quadrangle is
now a public park: Victoria Park. The university expanded considerably in
the twentieth century and now occupies buildings across City Road and the
Institute Building. The place includes extensive developed gardens, ovals,
avenues and other open spaces with terracing, stairs, fountains and paving
and extensive iron and stone fencing with major gateways.
