The Sydney College of the Arts (SCA) in Lilyfield [Gregory's Sydney Street Directory, Gregory's Publishing Company, 2002, Map 344] , Sydney, Australia is the visual arts faculty of the University of Sydney. It is housed in the Kirkbride complex, a cluster of sandstone buildings designed by James Barnet, the government architect in the late 19th century. The complex was part of the Callan Park Lunatic Asylum for the Mentally and Criminally Insane, which was built between 1878 and 1884. [The Heritage of Australia, Macmillan Company, 1981, p.2/39-40] It was a major psychiatric hospital for many years but, in the late 20th century, the hospital functions were moved to the western section of the estate and the Kirkbride complex became the home of the College of the Arts. The college is a base for the study of the visual arts.
