Established during the Victorian Era (1851 - 1900), the University's Parkville campus reflects the common architectural styles of the time. Funded by the British colonial government, the University's architecture was highly influenced by the architectural styles in London and Europe. Beginning with the Tudor Gothic of the Quadrangle then transitioning into Gothic Revival in the late 19th- and early 20th-centuries. The post World War One period saw the rise of American architectural influences, with the Collegiate Gothic style making its stamp on the architectural legacy of the campus. The mid-20th century witnessed the swift adoption of the Modernist movement in new buildings around campus.
