EMBED YOURSELF IN THE DNA OF PRIDHAM HALL
Your name and three words to live by, and now your voice
You can join hundreds of graduates, staff and supporters by donating $1,000 to have your name and three words to live by permanently etched into one of two available sculptural features in the University’s new ceremonial and sporting complex, Pridham Hall.
Under the guidance of our design team and led by JamFactory, South Australia’s leading arts studio, we have two remaining sculptural forms where we can display your name and your three words in key parts of Pridham Hall.
Your name and three words will become a permanent fixture that will forever inform and inspire generations of students, staff, alumni and visitors.
You can choose to embed your name and three words onto the blades of the Chandelier or have them carved on the Inverted Pyramid, both of which will be part of the impressive foyer of Pridham Hall.
Names and three words will continue to be added on an annual basis. Your name will be added after completion of your $1000 pledge. If you would like further information please contact Advancement Services on (08) 8302 7375 or giving@unisa.edu.au.
As well as embedding your name and words, or those of a loved one, into the new heart of UniSA, you will also have the unique opportunity to embed a recorded explanation of your three words as a permanent time capsule of your thoughts.
Your story, which can easily be recorded using a mobile phone or computer (don't worry, we will assist you), will be permanently stored on the Pridham Hall KIOSK, near the Inverted Pyramid and website where it will be available to future visitors.
Professor David G. Lloyd’s words are a tribute to a man who he greatly admires, and a tongue in cheek reference to his time at UniSA.

PRIDHAM HALL
In 2014, UniSA commenced the design and construction of the Great Hall creating a new heart of the University and an iconic venue where thousands of memories will be made.
In October 2016, the Great Hall became known as Pridham Hall following a remarkable $5 million benefaction from The Pridham Foundation - which administers the philanthropic activities of one of South Australia’s most successful sons, Andrew Pridham and his family.
A UniSA graduate in property resource management, Andrew Pridham has forged a highly successful international career as an investment banker in Sydney, Singapore, London and New York.
His other great passion, sport and in particular Australian Rules Football, has seen him serve as a Director since 2002 and Chairman since 2013 of one of the AFL’s most successful clubs over the past two decades – The Sydney Swans.
The Chandelier
The Jam Factory and design team chose glass-like resin blades which are suspended from the foyer ceiling to form a beautiful chandelier of words. The Chandelier is a stunning feature of the main foyer and a striking spectacle when illuminated at night.
The Inverted Pyramid
Here your name and three words can be carved in wood as part of the impressive Inverted Pyramid in the main foyer. The Inverted Pyramid evokes a sense of the ancient; the etched names reminiscent of iconic buildings of the past.
The Pool
**Embedding in the Swimming Pool is now SOLD OUT**
