SMB is where Federation University started way back in 1870 – known then as School of Mines Ballarat. The site is right in the heart of Ballarat, which means easy access to shops, cafes and public transport. 

The campus also includes Federation College, the Building and Construction Training Centre and the Manufacturing Technology Training Centre, (Grant St) and the Flecknoe Building (Albert St) – a digital innovation hub for entrepreneurs and startups. 

The traditional custodians for this area are the Wadawurrung peoples.
