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 pleasant summer afternoon, the Vice-Chancellor was joined by various key Trinity personnel, including Mr Campbell Bairstow, Provost; Mr Jim Craig, Chairman of the Board; and other board members.

The Revd Canon Professor Dorothy Lee, Dean of the Theological School, offered a prayer for the new building .

Also on site for the occasion were 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).

Construction work is progressing at a sure pace, with heavy machines continuing to operate whilst the dignitaries made their speeches.

Following the official photographs to mark this important occasion, guests and staff dusted off the dirt from their shoes and made their way to the office of the Provost for refreshments.

Of the Gateway and the occasion, Mr Bairstow reflected that ‘this landmark building will exemplify the commitment that the University of Melbourne and »ÆÉ«app share in furthering the education of all our students’.
