St.Lucia as a suburban has grown very much in population, but not as much in the space section

As the population grow, demand on public facilities follows (public transportation, traffic flows, students' apartments, etc.)

Several new problems are brought up by the natives, but not many are as significant as inhibiting the growth of the area

St.Lucia has shown its force in industrialism on education via The University of Queensland

“The most striking objects now unearthed are no longer the tools of agriculture and the chase, and other products of domestic industry… but… As monuments we have instead of huts and farmhouses monumental tombs, temples, palaces, and workshops. And in these we find a manner of exotic substances, not as rarities, but regularly imported and used in everyday life,” (Flanagan p.34)

We no longer come to St. Lucia for the agriculture and food, but we expect more than that. Food has become secondary, and people have noticed that culture and creation is almost necessary in a place we inhabit. It keeps us human. UQ to me is a place to discover more of every day. I haven’t seen the whole campus yet, but with all of the lakes, and buildings, and places to learn, I see it as more of a story rather than a necessity.

◊  The house is located at 99 Sir Fred Schonell Drive, St Lucia. It was designed by Romeo Lahey. This place was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992. The house is significant for its timberwork, showing the Lahey family’s involvement in the timber industry in south east Queensland which demonstrated history of Queensland.

The university was found on April 16, 1910 where teaching began a year later in Old Government House in George Street, Brisbane. There were only 83students (60males/ 23females) and only 3 faculties were available which were Art, Science or Engineering.

In 1992, Victoria Park (currently used by the Medical School) was bought in addition to the University due to a quick expansion after World World I that outgrew its inner-city setting.

In 1926, funds to buy a site in St Lucia where UQ is currently located was provided by Dr James O’Neil Mayne and Miss Mary Emelia Mayne.

St Lucia setting was chosen because of the great landscape feature with fertile sandy loam soil and some heavy alluvial patches that is essential for agricultural and mining which helps UQ reach full Queensland Education.

In 1937, construction began with Forgan Smith (previously name as Premier of the day) completed as the first building after 2 years and was used as the  the advanced headquarters for the Allied Land Forces in the South West Pacific during World War II.

In 1990, Gatton campus (80km west of Brisbane) was formed by UQ merging with the Queensland Agriculture College producing two oldest higher education in the State and increasing number of enrollments. The first student to enroll in the former Queensland Agricultural college was in 1897.

In 1999, Ipswich campus (previously the Challinor Center mental health facility) was opened. Although, in January 2015, this campus moved to the University of Southern Queensland, teaching continued until 2016 for Nursing and Midwifery, Paramedic Science and Health Science and Medicine students to finish their studies.

In 2010, third campus was opened at Herston as a place for UQ’s major clinical health and research teaching.
