      History

      The Union was set up in 1965 to provide a meeting place for students, graduates and staff. The Union evolved from the Student’s Association. It concentrated on small scale activities such as debates, films, music, food and even art exhibitions. In 1965 the Union was established in the Pauline Griffin Building and in 1973 it moved to the former Union Building in Union Court (building 20). The Union was incorporated in 2009.

      Prior to the Kambri development The Union was the hub for a majority of the food, beverage services and entertainment on the ANU campus. Due to the redevelopment of Union Court, the Union vacated its premises in August 2017. In March of 2019, the Union reopened in a new location at 3 Rimmer Street, ANU.
