South Lawn Underground Car Park

Description

"The first glimpse of the Master Plan 1970 was realised in the South Lawn and Underground Car Park" (Goad & Tibbits, 2003, pp.131) The car park was constructed in 1971 to cope with the demand for student and staff parking on campus. It has been a popular location for filming, the best known example being its use in the film, Mad Max.
