OCULUS was part of the winning design team for the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) National First Nations College, together with Greenaway Architects and Warren and Mahoney.

The UTS National First Nations College will be built on Gadigal land at Harris Street, Ultimo. The building will embody architectural and design excellence and promote caring for Country – the complex interconnectedness between Indigenous people, the natural environment and the spiritual world.

Spaces have been designed for comfort, connectivity, culture, Country, and community. As well as being home to students, the building will showcase contemporary Indigenous art, film, performance and storytelling, and strongly acknowledge Traditional Custodians and local communities.

The site includes open space, native gardens, and a new pedestrian through-site link from Harris Street to Omnibus Lane.

The college is planned for completion in 2026/2027.
