  The University House is also listed as a heritage site by ANU, the Royal Australian Institute of Architects and the Government of Australia and is a nominee for heritage listing by the National Trust of Australia.

context_section_description: The Great Hall was originally the dining area for Fellows, although this use has been reduced by the creation of an adjoining restaurant, Boffins.
  The hall features are by Leonard French, who decorated the western or rostrum end with Regeneratation (1972) and was also commissioned to create The Journey series (1974) of ten paintings that also decorate the Hall.
