Barton College is a residential college located at the Waurn Ponds campus of Deakin University. Established in 1989, the college is a residence made up of the Dawson, Evatt, and Hammond buildings.

Contents

Initially, the college had staff and acted as a community (competing in sporting events, purchasing matching rugby tops). [2] Additionally, each year the 'Boar of the Year' was awarded until 2003. The college also published an annual BarTalk until 1994, when the Bartonian was published for one year. [3]

Previously, the Barton Common Room was filled with plaques, photos and awards attributed to the college. However, the re-painting of the building and lack of College activities led to the building featuring only a single Boar shield and the 'Boar of the Year' plaque. Services also include a pool table, air hockey table, and four tennis courts.

In 2017, for the annual Deakin Residence Football matches and college merchandise Barton College became known as the 'Barton Bulls'. [4]
