A study of circulation has helped to illuminate how
the campus is experienced by students, and where
significant routes are.
Circulation Snapshot
Broadway Shopping Centre attracts
circulation along broadway. This will
be challenged by the new Frasers
development, and will probably
decrease significantly.

The Library is the single largest
driver of the informal use of campus.
Moving it will decrease visits to the
Haymarket Campus by many student
groups.
This survey asked students to map their typical path when moving
through UTS - 70 responses are mapped here. In addition to this
we took spot counts over the course of one day, which are marked
accordingly. All pedestrians were counted - both students and non-
students.
The survey gives a snapshot of circulation, and how it defines the
extent of the campus - essentially sitting within the triangle of
Central Station, Market City and Broadway Shopping Centre.
The busiest streets on campus are:
01. Broadway (21,000/day)
02. Goods Line (15,000/day)
03. Quay Street at Haymarket (15,000/day)
04. Library Entry (15,000/day*)
05. Harris Street (11,000/day)

major two non-scheduled activities on campus, and that they are by
their nature different. Informal learning can be done for many hours
at a time and requires a particular set of resources to accomplish -
usually internet, power, printing, solid tables and the like. Recreation
on the other hand is often done opportunistically, whenever students
have a spare 5 or 50 minutes. Recreational spaces need to be close but
of high quality. Informal learning requires tools.
From surveys documenting where people sit throughout the day and
what they do in a variety of common spaces on campus, we can see
that places providing some support for study (tables, chairs,
power) are already magnetic to students. Places where studying and
socializing combine are very attractive. An increase in the overlap
between informal learning and recreation activities can make the
campus a more interesting and collaborative environment.
A major point of note is that while Sydney has one of the best climates
in the world, relatively little activity (and even less informal learning)
on campus occurs outside. This is a significant missed opportunity.

Twenty-eight percent of UTS students are international.
Observational analysis suggests that international students tend to be
much heavier campus users, relying on it for informal learning, social
interaction and relaxing. These students will also tend to live within
walking and cycling distance of campus as the trip to Australia was
most likely made to study. This allows them to include their home on
their ‘personal campus map’.
Of the Australian students, 92% come from the Sydney metropolitan
area. Survey data suggests that a high proportion of Australian
students remain living at home when they study as they are too far
away (more than 5kms) to make multiple journeys to university in a
day, and need to rely on public transport or a car for the journey. This
means these students are ‘captive’ on campus between classes.
Despite this distance, 84% of students use sustainable mobility. This
makes UTS one of the major sustainable transport drivers in Sydney.
