Bruce Hall is a residential college of the Australian National University (ANU), in Canberra, Australia. Opened in 1961, the original Bruce Hall was a campus landmark and housed both the first undergraduate hall of residence at the university and the first in Australia to admit both men and women.[1][2][3] The college has produced notable alumni across a range of fields.
The Hall's motto is "Felix Qui Potuit Rerum Cognoscere Causas" which means "Happy is he who is able to discover the reason for things".
In April 2017, following an extended battle against alumni and heritage groups, the ANU obtained final approval for demolition of Bruce Hall's historic buildings.[4] Alumni condemned the decision.[4]
In February 2019 the ANU opened the renewed Bruce Hall alongside a new residence, Wright Hall, both on the site of the original residence.[5]
