Wright College Memories

From 1956 to 1996, Wright College consisted of five blocks: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon as well as the Dining Hall and associated rooms and offices.

The buildings were of wooden construction and had fallen into disrepair by the early 1990s. In 1996, the university council decided to demolish the blocks, leaving only the Dining Hall complex.

The new Wright College was opened in 2015 on part of the old site (where the Master’s residence stood).

The University of New England respects and acknowledges that its people, courses and facilities are built on land, and surrounded by a sense of belonging, both ancient and contemporary, of the world's oldest living culture. In doing so, UNE values and respects Indigenous knowledge systems as a vital part of the knowledge capital of Australia. We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of the Aboriginal community and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future.
