In January 2020, ANU was hit by a catastrophic hailstorm, which caused significant damage to the University campus and its buildings. ANU is now undertaking a major hail remediation program to repair damage caused by the storm to more than 160 buildings across the University’s Acton campus.  

Hail remediation work for Llewellyn Hall will occur until May 2024, which will include a re-roofing, renewing the flooring in backstage rooms and installing a lighting upgrade. This transition to LED lights will help align Llewellyn Hall with the University's zero emissions goals. 

Please note that Llewellyn Hall will be open for lectures from Weeks 1-4. 

The hail remediation works were strategically scheduled to stagger their completion, ensuring that the University maintains access to venues for events and large lectures. Following the completion of Llewellyn Hall, the Kambri Cultural Centre will undergo hail remediation work from June 2024 until January 2025.

ANU is thankful for the community’s understanding and patience as we work to make these repairs. 

Keep reading On Campusto stay in the loop on future hail remediation updates.
