Despite the name, construction of the 1888 Building was not completed until 1892. It initially served as a boarding school for University High School students, then operated as a teachers’ college from the year 1900.

Today this building is the home of the Graduate Students’ Association (GSA). GSA is an independent association that provides all enrolled graduate students at the University of Melbourne with representation, events, training and support, and is the largest dedicated postgraduate association in Australia.
