Campus information

Precincts

The UTS City Campus is made up of 3 building clusters called precincts, as well as various other administrative and student accommodation buildings.
UTS's Kuring-gai campus has no precincts per se as all buildings are located on one site.

The university is currently implementing its City Campus Master Plan, a massive overhaul of the campus involving four new buildings and a number of major refurbishments, re-locations, and new social hubs. The Master Plan will better integrate these precincts, delivering an iconic and pedestrian-friendly campus.

    • + Broadway precinct Map

      The Broadway precinct is centred around the landmark Tower, Building 1 (CB01) on Broadway, a short walk from Sydney's transport hub, Central Station.

      In the Broadway precinct, visitors will find the Tower, Building 1 (CB01) and adjoining Building 2 (CB02), Bon Marche, Building 3 (CB03) and Building 4 (Science, CB04). All of these are located in the square  bounded by Broadway and Jones, Harris, and Thomas Streets. These buildings surround Alumni Green, a central open space under which is the Multi-Purpose Sports Hall.

      The Peter Johnson Building (or DAB Building), Building 6 (CB06) is on the eastern side of Harris Street. Building 10 (CB10) is on the western side of Jones Street.

      Various student housing buildings complete the precinct.

      Only five minutes walk from the Broadway precinct, the Haymarket precinct sits at the edge of Chinatown and Darling Harbour. It houses the Business and Law faculties and the UTS Blake Library (CM05A) all in Building 5 (CM05), an adapted heritage building. Mary Anne House (CH01) on Harris Street is also part of this precinct.

      The UTS Blake Library clock tower stands on the corner of Quay Street and Ultimo Road. There is also a sidewalk café and leafy courtyards where students hang out, relax, and study.

Preferred paths

UTS has identified a 'Preferred Paths' network to help improve the safety of staff, students and visitors on its City Campus. This includes a number of future paths, which will be implemented through improved management and design.

People commuting between the Haymarket and Broadway precincts, especially, should take note of these paths. These paths will help the UTS community take full advantage of the inner-city location of the City Campus while avoiding some of the pitfalls such as busy traffic.

The routes are available on a PDF (172k).

Buildings

There are over 60 buildings and some 900 seminar and tutorial rooms spread across the UTS City and Kuring-gai campuses. However, once you understand the UTS: Building and Room Identification Standard outlined below, finding your way around UTS is quite straight forward.

Buildings have a four-character code, made from two letters describing a geographic location and two numerals that use existing building numbers.

The geographic location codes are:

  • CB City Campus, Broadway
  • CC City Campus, Blackfriars, Chippendale
  • CM City Campus, Haymarket
  • CQ City Campus, 10 Quay Street, Haymarket
  • KG Kuring-gai Campus
CB04.03.05

Room numbers indicate Building ID.Floor No.Room No. For example,
Room 5 on floor 3 of Building 4 on City Campus, Broadway, would be CB04.03.05.
