Professor Deborah Terry, the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Queensland, stated that this teaching building further consolidates the university's leadership position in the field of chemical engineering.Professor Terry said:

This teaching building will significantly enhance our ability to find solutions to global challenges. This teachingbuilding will also help lead Australia towards a more sustainable future and achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.


This teaching building has 11 floors, providing 500 square meters of teaching space and 2000 square meters of laboratory space. The building not only houses research laboratories with glass exterior walls allowing visitors to observe research in real-time but also is equipped with dedicated facilities enabling researchers to safely test and use reactors, X-ray machines, and lasers.

This teaching building is used by thousands of students across the university, including 600 undergraduate and master's students and 200 research higher degree students from the School of Chemical Engineering.

The teaching building is named after Andrew Liveris AO, a distinguished alumnus of the School of Chemical Engineering at the University of Queensland in 1975 and a global business leader, aptly reflecting the recognition of one of its most successful graduates, who, together with his wife Paula, provided generous donation support.

Mr. Liveris said he is very pleased that this teaching building will provide venues for research and learning that will help address the major challenges facing today's society.
