Monash University, Clayton campus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Monash University, Clayton Campus is the main campus of Monash University located in Clayton, which is a suburb of Melbourne, Australia, in the state of Victoria.
The Monash Clayton campus covers an area of over 1.1 km² and is the largest of the Monash University campuses. In 2001, the State Government of Victoria decided to build the first Australian synchrotron adjoining Monash's Clayton Campus. When the Australian Synchrotron opens in 2007, it will be capable of viewing matter at the molecular level using synchrotron light. Monash University has contributed $5M towards the $206M cost of the synchrotron as a member of the funding partnership for the initial suite of beamlines.
The campus has its own suburb and postcode (3800), and shares the telephone number extension of 990 with the other city campuses of the university.
There are 5 residential halls on campus, Howitt Hall, Deakin Hall, Farrer Hall, Richardson Hall and Roberts Hall. Howitt Hall stands 12 floors high and is known as the number one party hall, although the departure of long time college head Aubrey Townsend in 2000 saw the new staff attempt to change this image.
The Clayton campus is also affiliated with Mannix College, situated across Wellington Rd. from the university campus itself.
