Holman Hall is one of three Halls of Residence that were opened by Monash Residential Services (MRS) in 2016. Each hall is named after a notable Monash University Alumni.
Holman Hall is named in honour and recognition of Professor Mollie Holman AO, a physiologist who achieved acclaim for her contribution to research and development in her field.
Her remarkable international reputation as a researcher led to her appointment in 1970 to a Personal Chair in Physiology, a position she held until her retirement from Monash University in 1996.
