Governor of Victoria, the Honourable Linda Dessau AC, officially opened La Trobe University's new, state-of-the-art Sports Park Pavilion on Wednesday 14 March.
The Pavilion is part of La Trobe's $150 million Sports Park development – a key component of the University's ambitious $5 billion University City of the Future plan to transform Melbourne's north.
Governor Dessau, who in 2016 turned the first sod that launched construction of the Sports Park development, said opening the Pavilion to the public marked an important milestone in the history, and future, of the University.
"Victoria is a State deeply invested in its sporting culture," Governor Dessau said.
"This new sports precinct will make an important contribution to our State, providing an opportunity for sport, active recreation, teaching and research in sport.
"Certainly, La Trobe University students have the benefit of these outstanding facilities. But so too does the wider community."
