University is one of the largest universities in Australia. This year, in

Description
|
The
university is located at the North Ryde Greenbelt, Sydney, where the New
South Wales government sets aside 135 hectares for the institution. In 1964,
Macquarie area was a rural retreat on the city fringe, but today the campus
and its surroundings have evolved beyond recognition. The North Ryde District
has grown into a district of intensive occupation anchored by a vibrant and
growing university.
Blessed
with a fortunate location and room to breathe, Macquarie can be proud of that
careful planning that retains and enrich the university’s most attractive
natural features. A pleasing balance between buildings and plating is evident
across the campus. This emphasis on the importance of landscape has created
images of Macquarie as a place that members of the university are most likely
to pleasurably recollect.
One
of the highlights of the landscape is the Mars Creek zone. It comprises
landscaped creek sides and valley floor, a grass amphitheatre, and artificial
lake… surrounded by rocks and pebbles, native plants and eucalypts.
Today,
a railway station is under construction. In three years1 time, Macquarie will
be the only university in Australia with a railway station on site. Macquarie
is poised to be the most readily accessible in Sydney region by rail and
motorway, yet retaining its beautiful site.
