PENINSULA RESIDENTIAL
PENINSULA RESIDENTIAL
Peninsula Residential is home to 271 students and is made up of both Residential Village and Gillies Hall. Our mascot is the panther and our colours are blue, purple and white.
Peninsula Residential has a long history of housing and supporting students, beginning as a student hostel in 1960. Since the original building was replaced by the university library in 1994, Peninsula has continued to acquire or build the various housing options available today including, most recently, Gillies Hall.
Gillies Hall is the first student accommodation in Australia to be built to passive house standards. This means that the building is able to maintain a constant temperature all year round without requiring additional heating or cooling.
At Peninsula, we value community, tolerance and respect.
Our hall mascot is the panther and our hall colours are green, blue and white. We wear these colours with pride when we attend events such as College Clash.
Gillies Hall
Gillies Hall
Gillies Hall consists of 150 studio apartments situated on campus, and was opened in 2019. It is named after Dr Max Gillies AM (1941) who is an iconic Australian satirist, actor and director. With over 50 years’ experience in the performance industry, he is a Monash alumnus and mentor to actors and performers at Monash. He became a member of the Order of Australia in 1990 for service to the performing arts.
