23.01.2022 Missed out on the System Garden event a few weeks ago? Hear how an empty doorway was converted into a piece of art that (we hope) will attract natural pollinators to the garden. It’s all part of using our campuses as living labs! Have a peek by stopping by the System Garden Professors Walk entrance (wedged between the Babel and Botany buildings) on your next visit to our Parkville campus.

19.01.2022 Did you know that the New Student Precinct construction site has a soft plastics bin?
