Melbourne (St. Patrick's campus)

St Patrick's Campus

ACU National Melbourne commenced operation in March 2000 with more than 2,600 students. It replaced the University's two former suburban campuses at Ascot Vale and Oakleigh.

The Campus consists of a complex of buildings facing Victoria Parade and Brunswick and Young streets. The main building has been totally renovated to provide students with purpose-built facilities. Adjacent to the main building are specially designed lecture theatres, an art gallery on Brunswick Street and a multi-level car park.

Historic Central Hall, formerly Cathedral Hall, which has stood at 20 Brunswick Street since 1903, is part of the Campus complex. The Hall was closely linked with Melbourne’s Catholic community and was used as a meeting place and for dances and concerts. Plans are underway to revive and restore the large ornate hall.
