Macquarie University, Public university in Macquarie Park, Sydney, Australia
Macquarie University is a public university in Macquarie Park, northern Sydney. The campus spreads across a large site with lecture halls, laboratories, libraries, and open green areas between the facilities.
The state of New South Wales founded this institution in 1964 as the third university in the Sydney metropolitan area. Over the following decades the institution expanded its faculties and steadily increased student enrolment.
The institution takes its name from Lachlan Macquarie, who served as Governor of New South Wales during the 19th century. Today students from many countries shape daily life on campus through their languages and traditions.
The train station on site connects the university to central Sydney and surrounding suburbs. Several bus routes also stop on campus, making access easier for visitors from across the region.
A corridor with research facilities run by private technology companies sits on the grounds. This proximity between academic research and industry followed a model similar to developments in California.
