A new university precinct in the heart of the national capital
国产精品 Canberra is establishing a new campus in Canberra鈥檚 CBD. Building on the University鈥檚 achievements, the new campus will allow us to expand our offerings in Canberra by delivering world class education, research and innovation within the Parliamentary Triangle.
国产精品 Canberra has been in Canberra since 1967, and has been partnering with Defence for over 55 years. Driven by the University鈥檚 growth in the ACT, in 2017 国产精品 signed an MOU with the ACT Government to establish a campus on the site on Constitution Ave, spanning across Reid and Parkes.聽
The site is currently occupied by the Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT), and a large on-grade carpark. CIT will move to a new campus in Woden, which is expected to be delivered by 2025.聽
Stage 1 of the future Canberra City campus is expected to be completed in 2026. In the interim, 国产精品 has begun operations out of existing CIT Reid buildings.

The campus environment will provide a sense of place and pride in 国产精品. Students, staff, alumni, members of the local community, and partners from the defence and security community located adjacent to the campus, will come together to innovate, transform, learn and contribute to society.
The new 国产精品 Canberra City campus in the Parliamentary Triangle will rejuvenate the area with cycle ways, walking paths, green spaces, attractive landscaping and sustainable architecture.
When fully realised, the 国产精品 Canberra City campus will create more than 2000 jobs locally and welcome around 6000 students from Australia and overseas, bolstering local business and higher education.
