Muckleneuk Campus

Unisa’s Muckleneuk Campus is located in Pretoria and is a major landmark of the capital city. It is one of the most recognized Unisa campuses.

It was in 1972 that Unisa moved into its new home on Muckleneuk Ridge having vacated the old quarters in central Pretoria.

The complex of buildings was designed by Bryan Sandrock Architects in the 1960s and expresses an international style characterized by monumental proportions and engineering feats like the cantilevered structures.

The most striking feature of the Muckleneuk Campus is the long projection from the brow of the hill, supported by a giant steel girder resting on a massive column.
