Fenner Hall is named in honour of Emeritus Professor Frank Fenner who is not only one of the ANU’s most distinguished scholars, but also one of the world’s most eminent scientists. We support individuals to achieve significant personal growth through participation in Hall activities providing opportunities to develop quality organizational and leadership skills.

Each floor has a Senior Resident and we also have a dedicated team of Academic Assistants. Duty Wardens operate outside of office hours so there is always someone to call on should you require urgent assistance. Academic Assistants organise study groups, which are especially helpful around exam time. We have a number of study rooms and a small library. Our International Contact Officers assist international students to settle in and Fenner Green encourages environmental activities in Hall.

The Fenner Hall community is vibrant and exciting. We are home to students from around the world and all over Australia. Fenner is a supportive and happy community in which hall members are encouraged to reach their maximum potential academically and personally. Rather than pay lip service to our ethos, we live by its terms on a daily basis. We aim to make Fenner Hall better than our surrounding environment, and we succeed! Our residents enjoy an environment based on respect and consideration. We have a lot of fun and claim to be the best choice for undergraduate and postgraduate students.
