Bonython Hall, Gothic university building at North Terrace campus, Adelaide, Australia.

The limestone building stretches along North Terrace with a prominent entrance facing Pulteney Street and contains large ceremonial spaces for university gatherings.

Sir John Langdon Bonython donated 50,000 pounds for the construction of this hall, which provided employment to 600 workers during the Great Depression.

The hall contains polished wall paneling made from Manchurian and Australian oak, with Murray Bridge limestone and Willunga quarries slate materials.

The building serves as the main venue for University of Adelaide graduation ceremonies, examinations, public lectures, and large academic gatherings.

The installation of a digital organ in 2002 produces sounds identical to a pipe organ, enhancing the acoustic experience during ceremonies.
