Introduction

The Fremantle campus of the University of Notre Dame Australia is the institution's founding campus, located in the historic West End of the port town of Fremantle south of Perth; it was established in 1989 and began teaching in 1992. The university has progressively acquired and restored about 50 heritage buildings across Fremantle's West End, adapting colonial-era premises into classrooms and faculties and creating a distinctive 'town university'. The campus sits close to Fremantle Harbour, the café-strewn 'Cappuccino Strip' and all major transport hubs. As an open urban campus, visitors can freely wander among old courtyards and red-brick buildings.
