Vice-Chancellor turns the sod for Gateway building

Trinity College was delighted to welcome Vice-Chancellor of the University of Melbourne, Professor Glyn Davis, to have the honour of turning the ceremonial sod on the Gateway building.

The Gateway building is well underway, and Trinity felt it timely to gather together at the site to mark the first stage of the project.

On a recent sunny afternoon, the Vice-Chancellor was joined by various key Trinity staff, including Mr Campbell Bairstow, Provost, Mr Jim Craig, Chairman of the Board, and other members of the board.

The Revd Canon Professor Dorothy Lee, Dean of the Theological School, was present to offer a prayer for the new building.

Also on site for the occasion were three representatives from each school of the College: Baden Hitchcock, current residential College student; Melissa Clark, current Theological School student; and Su Li Yeoh, TCFS Student Services Acting Manager and TCFS alumna (TCFS 2001).

ABOUT THE GATEWAY

Trinity’s aim is to build upon our leading position in the education marketplace. To maintain this position, we need improved educational facilities.

This landmark building will exemplify the commitment that the University of Melbourne and Trinity College share in furthering the education of all our students.

Construction of the building represents the long-term realisation of this important academic centre that all of our students deserve.
