The University of Wollongong led Innovation Campus (iC) is a 33-hectare beach side precinct offering the unique opportunity for commercial organisations to work alongside world-class research teams from the University in state-of-the-art facilities.
The Innovation Campus (iC) is being developed by the world-class University of Wollongong in conjunction with industry leading construction partner, Baulderstone. iC’s first building, iC Central, opened in mid-2008, followed by the Australian Institute for Innovative Materials (AIIM) and the Institute for Transnational and Maritime Security (ITAMS) in 2009.
The Sydney Business School and Digital Media Centre officially welcomed their first cohort of students in 2010 while the AIIM (Processing and Devices) building and a commercial building (iC Enterprise 1) are under construction and will be completed in mid 2011.

To be developed in stages, the campus will provide a total of 135,000 sqm of gross floor area over the 33 hectare site for research and office space; retail and service facilities; hotel and conference centre and residential accommodation.
iC was established with seed funding from the New South Wales State Government and has ongoing support at the Commonwealth, State and Local government levels.
iC is a long term project that will span 10-15 years and upon completion some 5000 people will be part of iC’s working community of business and research enterprises.
The vision is to enhance the economic and cultural wealth of iC participants by providing the best environment in the Asia-Pacific region for people and organisations to exchange and develop ideas and deliver innovative outcomes.
Buildings on iC, developed in accordance with the Master Plan are sited around a pedestrian spine leading to the interactive hub of iC Central. Building locations at iC are designed to encourage the development of networks and interaction between all Campus participants while the open spaces and pond networks will encourage reflection and the development of ideas.
The iC development and construction teams work closely with occupants to achieve accommodation solutions that reflect their short and longer-term needs.
Buildings are customised to provide maximum amenity and efficiency for the company’s operations and future flexibility.
