Building our Hobart University presence since 2007

This period reflects significant Federal and State Government investment to provide teaching, medical and research infrastructure in the Hobart CBD, through funding such as the Education Infrastructure Fund and Teaching and Learning Capital Fund.

2013 - 2018

The University continues to enhance its presence in the Hobart CBD including construction of Medical Sciences Precinct, Hedberg and student accommodation facilities, and undertakes impact assessments of moving the University campus more fully into the city.

2019 onwards

With a substantial portion of the University already in the City and an aged Sandy Bay campus, the Council needed to make a decision about the long-term future of the Southern Campus. In 2019 it weighed whether to complete the consolidation of the University in the City or develop a multi-campus model with contemporary facilities on Sandy Bay while repurposing the many buildings that would no longer be required. After an extended period of analysis and consultation, the Council decided to consolidate into the City over the next decade. The University then began a process of further consultation, inviting over 400 stakeholders from across Greater Hobart to a two-day community summit in late 2019.
