From 1880, the study of architecture at the University of Sydney was an elective of the postgraduate and undergraduate engineering degrees.
[1] The Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning is located in the Wilkinson Building, 148 City Road, Darlington.
The first building was built from an original sketch plan of the new School of Architecture prepared by the office of Baldwinson, Booth & Peters in November 1957.
Only six years later in 1965 the University Senate approved in principal draft plans for significant alterations and additions to the School of Architecture.
By 1967 the Senate reviewed sketch plans and a brief prepared by the Faculty of Architecture under Johnson, which were to be documented by local firm Fowell Mansfield Jarvis & Maclurcan.
