UNSW Sydney has secured State Significant Development (SSD) approval for a new 12-storey Education Building (G25), marking a milestone in the university’s long-term campus development strategy.

Located on the eastern side of UNSW Kensington, the building will deliver a vertical campus with more than 20,000 square metres of purpose-built space. It will also include research and clinical facilities for UNSW’s School of Psychology.

UNSW vice-chancellor and president professor Attila Brungs said the approval reflects the university’s commitment to creating environments where students can thrive.

“The new G25 building is an investment in people – in our students, our educators and future generations,” said Brungs. “By expanding our teaching capacity and creating inclusive, future-ready learning spaces, we are strengthening our ability to deliver accessible education that empowers students with the skills, knowledge and confidence to make a positive impact in the world.”

Designed to support contemporary teaching and learning, G25 will feature flexible classrooms, three large, double-height teaching venues, informal study areas, collaborative zones, landscaped terraces, a café and inclusive, neurodiversity-friendly spaces.

The building has been designed for energy efficiency. Active travel will be supported through new bicycle parking and end-of-trip facilities, aligned with UNSW’s broader sustainability and transport goals. Landscaping, mature tree planting and new public spaces will improve biodiversity and campus amenity.

The public domain surrounding the nearby Gate 11 will be upgraded to create a pedestrian-friendly campus entry, with a new plaza, improved pathways and stronger connections to the Randwick Health & Innovation Precinct.

The project forms part of the university’s Campus Development Plan, a broader refurbishment and renewal program focused on campus accessibility, environmental performance and upgraded learning environments.

UNSW has worked with several consultants on the project, including Architectus, FDC, Arup, Capital Insight, Yerrabingin and Colliers Urban Planning.

Construction of G25 has commenced and is expected to be completed in 2028.
