Building dedicated in honour of UOW’s fourth Vice-Chancellor, Professor Paul Wellings
The University of Wollongong’s ground-breaking new Molecular Horizons building was officially opened on Friday 30 April 2021 by the Governor-General, His Excellency General the Honourable David Hurley AC DSC (Retd).
The formal ceremony dedicated the Molecular Horizons building to retiring UOW Vice-Chancellor Professor Paul Wellings CBE, to recognise his outstanding contribution to the University, naming it the Paul Wellings Building.
The building was designed to house a suite of revolutionary technology – including the three-metre tall, one-tonne FEI/Thermo Fisher Titan Krios cryogenic electron microscope – that will deliver high-impact research that changes the way we understand disease processes.
