Kingsway Campus Auckland Park

This, in its day, was an architectural feat earning RAU an award from the South African Institute of Architects upon the opening of the campus in 1975, by Dr. Nicolaas Diederichs, first chancellor and State President.

The building has a multipurpose design and may be easily converted to accommodate different needs all within a 48-hour conversion period, for example to that of a hospital.

In addition there is an E LES foyer and E Ring which houses the Sanlam Auditorium, Student Media offices (UJFM and The UJ Observer), Campus Health Services and the university societies.

The UJ Law Clinic moved to the location of the previous RAU art gallery.

The Campus has a total of 66 lecture halls equipped with 7787 seats, as well as 24-hour access to several microlaboratories that can facilitate over 1000 students at a time.

In 2010 construction began on the open property corner University Road and Kingsway Avenue.

However this was put on hold indefinitely as funds of R800 million were urgently injected into Soweto Campus, following protests.
