Sir Eric Neal Library
The Library was originally opened in 1969, when it was the central library for the South Australian Institute of Technology. In 2001 it was named in honour of Sir Eric Neal, who opened a major extension to the Library in May 2005.
The Library is home to the Art of Learning sculptures by famed sculptor John Dowie, and also features a Pillar of Wisdom with quotations from significant scholars.
The Sydney Ball Gift comprising over thirty important works is installed in the Library and is by far the most valuable gift of Australian art ever made to the University. The installation celebrates the artist’s long and impressive career and considerable impact on Australian art, and recognises this wonderful act of generosity to the University.
