UQ Gatton has celebrated its 12th year in fine style, culminating in a long table lunch.
UQ's Gatton Campus marked its 125th year in fine style, culminating in a long table lunch in the historic Foundation Building.
Celebrated as one of the oldest tertiary institutions in Queensland, the facility has trained many thousands of people for a wide range of professions and careers, particularly in agriculture.
UQ Vice-Chancellor Professor Deborah Terry outlined some of the history of the iconic institution.
Since it was opened in 1897, the campus has played a wide range of roles including as a high school, a US Army hospital in WWII, and as the Queensland Agricultural College before amalgamating with UQ in 1990.
