The Quad - Aula Maxima UCC

• The Aula Maxima (Great Hall) is the venue for many formal events - honorary conferrings, concerts, recitals and banquets. The window on the east wall commemorates George Boole (1815-1864), the first Professor of Mathematics at UCC, whose algebra became the foundation of modern computer science. We are celebrating George Boole *200 this year and Lorna Moloney is project genealogist on same, see http://www.georgeboole.com/

• The Aula Maxima is about a 12 minute walk from Victoria Lodge accommodation. A volunteer will walk the delegates to the Aula Maxima, departing at 5.30p.m.
