From Wikipedia:

 

"The University of Technology, Sydney (UTS), is a university in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The university was founded in its current form in 1988, although its origins trace back to the 1870s.

UTS is notable for its central location as the only university with its main campuses within the Sydney CBD. It is part of the Australian Technology Network of universities and has the fifth largest enrolment in Sydney.

UTS has been ranked 234th in the World's Top 500 universities by the Times HES (2008) and was one of two Australian Universities given A1 ratings across all major disciplines in 2007 and 2008 by the Federal Government Education department.

 

The famous 'Tower' building is an example of brutalist architecture with square and block concrete designs.

 

In October 2006, the university's tower building was voted by 23% of the total vote in a poll hosted by Sydney Morning Herald as ugliest building in Sydney."
