Re: Oriental room University of Sydney

The Quadrangle is a building located within the University of Sydney Camperdown Campus. Taking over 100 years to complete, it was designed and developed by numerous contributors including Edmund Blacket, James Barnet, and Leslie Wilkinson.

The original building included the Great Hall and was constructed between 1855 and 1862. Construction on it began in 1854; it had four sides by 1926 and was completed in the 1960s after several stages of development.

It comprises the Great Hall, MacLaurin Hall, Faculty of Arts office and the Nicholson Museum. MacLaurin Hall was constructed from 1902-1904 and was designed by Walter Liberty Vernon.

The architectural style of it is gothic revival. The building is mostly constructed of Sydney sandstone and is unique in the Australian architectural landscape.

At the time of its completion, it was ‘the largest public building in the colony’. The Traditional Indigenous owners of the land on which the Quadrangle was built are the Cadigal and Wangal tribes of the Eora people.

The main entrance - constructed first along with the Great Hall - is underneath the clock tower, which holds one of only two carillons in Australia.

Philosophy Room

The Philosophy Room located within the quadrangle is home to two murals which are placed at the back of the room. On the 14 November 1921, these two mural decorations were unveiled in the Philosophy Room within the quadrangle at the University of Sydney.

They were painted by Mr. Norman Carter and were commissioned to celebrate the 30 years of work of Professor Francis Anderson. One mural depicts Socrates, Aristotle and Plato together whilst the other depicts Descartes, Bacon and Spinoza. Both murals were unveiled by Professor Anderson's wife.
