University of Sydney

Cox Architecture are behind the brutalist design of the redevelopment of the University of Sydney’s Engineering and Technology Precinct at its Darlington campus.

The campus’s 1960s Electrical Engineering Building is being redeveloped with a renovation of the western wing of the existing building and the addition of a new 11-storey wing to the building’s east.

The existing Brutalist style building, built from 1963 to 1965 in off-form concrete was designed by Ancher, Mortlock and Murray. A statement prepared by Urbis describes the existing building as “one of the first Australian educational buildings to commit to a full expression of Brutalism.”
