St Teresa of Kolkata Building

Our state-of-the-art, $226 million St Teresa of Kolkata Building is now open at our Melbourne Campus. The building spans 13 levels and 18,344 square metres, and features teaching facilities and informal learning spaces, upgraded student amenities, green spaces and a rooftop multi-sports court.

The new building provides a range of new facilities to improve the experience of students, staff and the community at our Melbourne Campus, including:

  • new teaching and learning spaces
  • a rooftop multi-sport court
  • an elevated garden with views of the city
  • staff, student and postgraduate hubs
  • car and bicycle parking for staff and students
  • kitchen facilities and lounge areas
  • personal and group study areas
  • conference facilities.

The development is part of our plan to accommodate student and staff growth for the next 10 years, and consolidate teaching spaces to improve the learning environment for students and access for staff.

The Campus Park

The Young Street Campus Park interim landscape project will provide a high-quality and inviting space at the Melbourne Campus, on the site of the current carpark.

The Campus Park will be a safe and flexible open space that will be a social hub for the university and community. It will feature large flexible-use areas and smaller, more intimate, spaces and has been designed to reflect ACU’s culture of faith, inclusiveness and sustainability.

The park site is part of the approved Development Plan Overlay (DPO) and has approval for a future building. This temporary park is intended to meet the campus’s current needs while allowing for further campus expansion in the future.
