The toad outside of Toad Hall

Toad Hall is a residential hall on campus at the Australian National University in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia. It was established in 1973.

While primarily a Hall for post-graduate students, in 2010 Toad Hall has 24 under-graduate students of a total of 230 residents.

It is located at the corner of Barry Drive and Kingsley Street, Acton. Sullivans Creek and the Drill Hall Gallery are nearby. The Toad Hall residences were designed by architect John Andrews in 1977 and are inexplicably listed in the Royal Australian Institute of Architects Register of Significant Twentieth Century Architecture.

The University Council allowed the hall of residence to be named Toad Hall following the recommendation of the first residents of the hall where the setting, with the long line of willow trees between the hall and Sullivans Creek, was evocative of Kenneth Grahame's children's novel, The Wind in the Willows.


Management and Staff

Toad Hall is managed by the Head of Residence, Dr Ian Walker, who is assited by an administrative team (led by the Administration Manager, Lucinda Watt) and two Sub Deans (Lucille Pedersen and Areti Metuamate) who lead a team of 14 Senior Residents.
