The campus was established in the early 1990s as the flagship campus of Edith Cowan University, the campus grew from a small compact site in 1984 into a major 17,000-student hub. It was built on a planned urban development initiative, later becoming the university's headquarters following a 1998 "campus consolidation" strategy that shifted operations from the ECU Churchlands campus.
In 2016, the campus was asked to evacuate due to an arson attack on the campus by a 26-year-old man. Two buildings in the campus suffered damaged. Hundreds of university staff, students and children had earlier been evacuated from the campus, including from the university's childcare centre. On that day all the classes and lectures were closed.
