UTS Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building, Educational center for design and architecture in Sydney, Australia
The UTS Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building occupies part of the Broadway precinct in Ultimo, within the University of Technology Sydney city campus. The faculty sits in the brutalist UTS Tower, a concrete building completed in 1979 and opened by Premier Neville Wran, and in nearby buildings such as UTS Central, a 17-storey glass building opened in August 2019 that houses the library and law faculty.
The faculty was established in 1988 as a department of the university and played a key role in modernizing architectural education in Australia. Since then, it has grown into a leading institution for design and construction studies.
Students and faculty members from different backgrounds work together in an environment that promotes innovation across design, architecture, and construction disciplines.
The facility is easily accessible by public transport and centrally located in Sydney's CBD, making it convenient for visitors and prospective students. Campus tours are regularly offered to explore the facilities and learn about the programs available.
The faculty's School of Design moved from a Balmain campus, closed at the end of 1994, into a new building at the city campus. The faculty was merged in 2025 with the former Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and the UTS Animal Logic Academy to form the Faculty of Design and Society.
