The Environment Education Centre at the Australian National Botanic Gardens
in Canberra has been officially named the Crosbie Morrison Building, to
honour Philip
Crosbie Morrison's enormous contribution to natural history education.
The building was opened by the Hon Ros Kelly, Minister for the Environment,
at a ceremony at the Gardens on 1 September 1992.
The Centre is used to provide classroom facilities for many of the 10,000
students who visit the Gardens each year and is a venue for community groups
with an interest in Australia's natural history. A small and a large indoor
classroom are complemented by a small outdoor amphitheatre
facing a lawn area and pools where aquatic biology can be studied.
