History
St Mary's College was originally established in 1918 as St Mary's Hall, catering to women mainly from the country. Formerly on The Avenue in Parkville, it moved to its present position on the corner of Tin Alley and Swanston Street in 1966. It was in that year that it became a college, the female affiliate of the Catholic male Newman College.
In 1977 St Mary's became co-residential. It now exists strongly independent to Newman. Since its inception, St Mary's College has been administered by the Sisters of Loreto.
In 2004, The Academic Centre, a joint facility shared between St Mary’s and Newman Colleges, was opened. It was designed by Maggie Edmond and Peter Corrigan to reflect the overall academic vision of both Colleges to enhance the educational facilities and opportunities available to the students of the Colleges.
The Centre contains a library, tutorial rooms, music practice rooms, student lounges and information technology facilities.
