World-class infrastructure
The Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology (FEIT) building is a beacon of innovation and technology at UTS. Located on the UTS City Campus, it is within walking distance of Central Station and the Sydney CBD.
The 12-storey FEIT building serves as a cutting-edge laboratory with wireless sensors monitoring temperature, air quality, noise and dust. Designed with sustainability in mind, it includes rooftop wind turbines, solar panels, water recycling and charging stations for battery-powered cars, generating 20% of its energy needs. The exterior features aluminium plates spelling out 'University of Technology Sydney Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology' in binary, illuminated by green LED lighting at night.
