Upgrade for Basil Sellers

Bond’s students and staff continue to benefit from the generosity of one of the University’s keen supporters, Basil Sellers AM, with a further upgrade to the lecture theatre named in his honour.

Mr Sellers’ association with Bond University dates back to 2004 when he first provided support to renovate the main theatre, and he has continued to provide additional funding.

Vice Chancellor and President Tim Brailsford says the theatre has the capacity to accommodate 500 people and is one of the busiest theatres on campus.

“The theatre is used on a daily basis for student lectures, forums and information sessions. It has also been widely used as a community resource hosting conferences and special events,” says Professor Brailsford.

“We greatly appreciate Basil’s generosity and philanthropy to support our world-class facilities for teaching and learning.”
