Tocal College, Agricultural college in Paterson Valley, New South Wales, Australia
Located at the junction of Paterson River and Webbers Creek, Tocal College spans across extensive grounds with interconnected buildings arranged around a longitudinal quadrangle.
The property began as a colonial estate in 1822 when James Phillips Webber received a land grant, leading to the establishment of farming operations with 150 convict workers.
The name Tocal originates from the local Aboriginal language of the Gringai clan of the Wonnarua people, signifying abundance in the region.
The college functions as a Centre of Excellence within the NSW Department of Primary Industries, providing agricultural education and hosting annual field days in May.
Architects Philip Cox and Ian McKay designed the college buildings to integrate with the natural landscape, earning the Sulman and Blacket Awards for Architecture in 1965.
