[edit] History

Goldstein College was opened on June 30, 1964, along with the Goldstein Dining Hall which is used by all three of The Kensington Colleges. It was designed by the Government Architect, Mr E.H.Farmer, and a member of his staff, Mr Peter Hall, who later became the supervising architect of the Sydney Opera House[1]

Goldstein College was named after a British Jew, Philip Godfrey Goldstein (1895-1963), who had arrived in Australia in 1911 as a migrant from England. In 1959 he donated ₤40,000 (Australian) towards the construction of the Hall and College, which initially housed women and postgraduate students, and was the first college accommodation for women on campus.

Three meals per day during session are provided at the nearby dining hall which is shared with residents of the other Kensington Colleges - Basser and Philip Baxter.
