About Engineering Technology Precinct

The J03 building consists of nine levels containing students spaces and cutting-edge research labs.

It flows seamlessly from the previous J03 Electrical Engineering Building via a spectacular glass atrium, connecting our legacy with our future. Situated in the heart of engineering at the Camperdown/Darlington campus and adjacent to Cadigal Green, the building was designed by COX Architecture and built by Laing O'Rourke based on the University of Sydney's Wingara Mura design principles.

Placing sustainability at the heart of its design, J03 has been awarded a 4 Star Green Star.

The building has been designed to include energy-efficient lighting, improved indoor air quality features, a solar photovoltaic system on the roof, promotion of sustainable transport, and surface heat reduction conscious landscape design.

Other features include:

  • Outdoor student spaces. New open spaces surrounding the building, including two open plazas with beautiful garden settings for everyone to enjoy
  • Self-directed learning areas on the ground floor for group or individual study
  • Student facilities include a kitchenette, lockers and printing services
  • Open plan multi-purpose clean labs for classes
  • Study room on level 3
  • School of Biomedical Engineering research spaces
  • School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering research spaces
  • Meeting rooms and collaborative spaces
  • PC2 and GMO (genetically modified organisms) labs
  • Plasma lab
  • Dark room for single-molecule biomechanics
  • Microfluidic room

Primarily an education space, the design of the Shepherd Street Building (J15) includes flowing open spaces to encourage collaboration between all staff and students, and promote conversations, learning, and engagement.

  • Updated teaching laboratories that reflect current research interests in emerging technologies to provide a significantly enhanced student learning experience.
  • Three levels that can accommodate approximately 320 students and staff.
  • Student facilities include a kitchenette, lockers and printing services.
  • Open plan multi-purpose electrical engineering project rooms for classes.
  • Radio frequency (RF) chamber for research and teaching.

The breadth of teaching labs include:

  • Computer Software Lab
  • Raymond Kirby Engineering on Display Lab
  • Electrical Support Lab
  • Mechanical Support Lab
  • Analog and Digital Lab
  • Electronics & Communications Lab
  • Digital Systems & Communications Modelling
  • Energy & Machines Lab

Laboratories and Facilities

The Faculty of Engineering at the University of Sydney hosts a wide range of specialised laboratories and facilities that support both research and teaching. These spaces are equipped to accommodate work across disciplines including aerospace, biomedical engineering, computer science, and environmental systems. Key facilities include a 30-metre wave flume for fluid dynamics research, an immersive virtual reality lab, and a CASA-approved site for testing uncrewed aerial vehicles.

Many of the labs are unique within Australia, such as those focused on electroceuticals, implantable devices, and high-performance reconfigurable computing. These facilities enable researchers and students to engage in applied, interdisciplinary work that addresses real-world problems. They also support partnerships with industry, providing the infrastructure needed for collaborative innovation and technology development.
