Our city campus
Macquarie University City Campus features world-class facilities, offering students access to a friendly learning environment and networking opportunities with other like-minded peers. Our city campus is ideally located at 123 Pitt Street, right in the heart of Sydney CBD.
Why choose Macquarie
We have invested more than one billion dollars in our facilities and infrastructure over the last ten years to ensure our students and staff can thrive in an environment that is inspiring and switched on to the latest digital technologies.
Like a miniature city, Macquarie has a vast array of amenities on campus including several cafés and restaurants. And, the University is within walking distance of a major shopping precinct.
Our sports facilities are some of the best university facilities in the country — the Sport and Aquatic Centre features swimming pools, a state-of-the-art health club, squash and basketball courts, and a martial arts area.
We have a strong focus on equity, diversity and inclusion. Staff and students from more than 100 countries study and work here. We provide a range of services on campus to support students from culturally diverse backgrounds, Indigenous Australians, people who are LGBTQ+ and students with a disability.
With more than 300 leading companies located on or around the Macquarie campus, our students are able to tap into industry connections that give them an edge in their future careers. Our staff also have access to outstanding research and innovation opportunities with some of the world’s leading organisations.
Already Sydney’s second-largest business district, by 2035 Macquarie Park is tipped to be the fourth largest CBD in Australia behind Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
Our level of infrastructure requires outstanding transport options, and Macquarie is one of the easiest universities to get to by public transport. There are more than 4000 car spaces on campus, regular buses and an on-campus train station.
The ten-year Campus Master Plan is part of our significant investment in shaping the University’s future. Find out more about our new Arts Precinct, Central Courtyard Precinct, and other recently completed projects.

Pesticide Use Notification Plan
The Pesticide Use Notification Plan outlines our notification processes for pesticide use in public outdoor spaces within Macquarie University.

The Concept Plan
The Concept Plan provides formal statutory planning approval and acts as a tool for the University to guide the development of our campus.
The Urban Design Guidelines
The Urban Design Guidelines is a two-volume set of documents prepared in August 2015 and updated in August 2018. These documents are required by, and form part of, the Concept Plan approval process.
These guidelines now provide the ‘controls’ and detailed design measures against which future development on the campus will be assessed, and are to be considered instead of Council’s DCP controls.
