Emmanuel College, University of Queensland

Emmanuel College was founded by the Queensland Presbyterian Church in 1911, with an all-male cohort first taking up residence in 1912 in its original location on Brisbane CBD’s Wickham Terrace (the now heritage-listed St Andrews War Memorial Hospital Administration Building).

In 1955, the College relocated to its present site on Sir William MacGregor Drive on the St Lucia campus of the University of Queensland.

[citation needed] Emmanuel students compete in a variety of individual and team sporting activities against the other 10 Brisbane-located residential colleges of the University of Queensland as part of the Inter-College Competition (ICC).

In 2019 (equal 1st with St John's), 2017 and 2016 Emmanuel won the coveted ICC Cultural Cup, its 2016 victory coming on the back of a clean sweep of the three most heavily weighted competitions: Bandfest, Choralfest and Dancefest.
