 Federal Minister for Small Business Bruce Billson today officially opened the New Sciences Precinct at the Australian National University. He toured the state-of-the-art facilities and talked to students. The Dean of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Professor Andrew Roberts said it was a great day to be part of science at the ANU. It's a really fantastic world-class environment here and to have new buildings to support that activity is exciting, he said. Construction on the precinct started in 2009 and was completed in 2013, providing updated facilities in biological and chemical research as well as teaching laboratories for science students. I congratulate you all that have been involved in what is a remarkable cluster of outstanding buildings that will bring the very best out of our brightest people, whether they be researching, teaching students or someone wondering what to do with their lives. They might think, I've seen this, I want to be a part of science, I want to be a part of ANU, congratulations to all involved in this outstanding cluster of buildings.
