Campbell Park is located in Canberra, the national capital of Australia, in the suburb of Campbell, Australian Capital Territory.Design and FunctionThe building looks eastward across the Majura Valley and Canberra Airport and backs onto Mount Ainslie. The offices have seven floors of varying width, staggered back on tall concrete pillars to match and blend with the profile of the hill to the west. Four numbered sections, numbered from the south, bend slightly eastward at each 'node' where lifts take people between floors. Nodes B, C, D, and E also have spiral staircases. Access is by main security entrances at B and D Nodes, between CP1&2 and CP3&4 respectively. Underground document storage and work space is below part of the building.The building has an access road on the hill side of the building and another on the down-hill side near the underground storage areas, near the extensive car parking areas. The precinct is accessed from Northcott Drive, that passes the Australian Defence Force Academy and the Royal Military College, Duntroon to Russell. This crosses Fairbairn Avenue that runs between the airport (formerly the Royal Australian Air Force Fairbairn base) and the Australian War Memorial at Anzac Parade.
