Venue hire

Alumni can enjoy a 20 percent discount on commercial rates for private functions on all ACU campuses (in the available venues). In fact, many alumni have already taken up the opportunity by holding business events and private weddings on an ACU campus. 

Rates are reasonable, but please note that there are nominal operational costs for set-up and bump-out, cleaning, security and utilities when premises are used, and usage charges do not include any allowance for catering.

For more information contact the ACU Alumni Office.

Featured venue: Barron Memorial Chapel, Strathfield Campus

Several alumni have celebrated their big day in Barron Memorial Chapel on ACU’s Strathfield Campus.

The chapel was erected by the Christian Brothers of Australia and New Zealand to commemorate the golden jubilee of Brother Patrick Jerome Barron in 1925. The chapel, belltower and arcade won Hennessy’s firm (of Hennessy, Hennessy, Kessing & Co.) the Master Architect’s Gold Medal in the Turin Exhibition in the mid-1920s.
