1979 - Gippsland gets iconic building

On a hot day in December 1979, a ring of onlookers began gathering around a construction site on Monash University Gippsland Campus (then known as Gippsland Institute of Advanced Education). They watched as the Binishell was erected in little more than an hour.

Today: Now a distinctive landmark in Churchill, the Binishell has special significance for alumni and forms a link between GIAE and Monash University Gippsland Campus. It is here that graduates of both institutions have gathered for their graduation ceremony.
