By 1969, when the first women enrolled, student numbers had trebled while international enrolments and course offerings had expanded dramatically. The end of the War in 1945 heralded renewed interest in agricultural education. ![]() This development continued throughout the War, with the focus on practical farm work and projects of immediate wartime value such as intensive crop and livestock production, and growing opium poppies to make drugs. The sudden requisition caused major disruption and many new buildings were constructed in 1943 to accommodate teaching and research activities. In fewer than three years these hospitals hosted more than 19,000 wounded servicemen plus 3000 Army doctors, nurses and other service personnel. In 1942 much of the campus was requisitioned (on one day's notice) for the 153rd Station Hospital and later the 105th General Hospital of the U.S. The institution was, however, already developing interests in scientific education and research. ![]() In 1927 the University of Queensland launched its Agriculture Faculty, ending Gatton's State monopoly on tertiary agricultural education.

Support our vision for transforming our campus by connecting with us and the Emmanuel College Priority Fund. We hope you share in the optimism contained within the plan, and see the many brilliant opportunities for future members of the Emmanuel College community which might flow from its realisation. Feedback from all stakeholders, including direct consultation with students, has been a core to the plan’s evolution and is reflected in the final version of the Master Plan. It will take time and significant resources to achieve the vision contained in the Master Plan. The Master Plan is a flexible built environment strategy that will provide guidance to decision makers on the development of the campus over the next 10 to 30 years. We have sought to be smart and sustainable, thinking strategically and long term, and most importantly aligning the College’s vision, goals and objectives with the built form and environment. ![]() While students live and engage in their usual dynamic and enthusiastic ways, we are challenged to look for better ways to connect as community, through the more effective stewardship and utilisation of our remarkable and unique location sitting on the banks of the Brisbane River. Much of the infrastructure of the College is approaching its 70th anniversary. In 2021, recognising the need for rejuvenation and development to meet future needs, the Emmanuel College Board endorsed a new Master Plan for the College, developed through the creative collaboration of Feather & Lawry Design and Aspect Studios (Landscape).
