Margaret Reid will officially open the newly-completed Chambers Pavilion located on the CSU campus in Canberra on June 14.
Professor Chambers made many significant contributions and held numerous appointments at CSU, culminating as Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) for a decade from 2002 to 2012.
He was involved in the establishment of CSU Port Macquarie and acted as head of campus for Port Macquarie on a part-time basis from 2013 to 2015.
Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture executive director the Rt. Reverend Professor Stephen Pickard said the University Council conferred the official naming of the Chambers Pavilion in recognition of Professor Chambers' contributions to the university and his role in the establishment of the centre.
"This acknowledges his guidance and energy for the vision and development of the centre and his dedicated chairing of the ACC&C Board for 10 years,” he said.
Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture began in 1998 as an ecumenical venture for engagement with Australian culture and the issues of the day, and is unique in Australia.
It was established through a partnership between CSU and the Anglican Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn, and is situated at the eastern edge of the Parliamentary Triangle in Canberra.
Professor Pickard said following the completion of George Browning House in 2009, the Chambers Pavilion is the latest stage of the development.
It is a new multi-purpose meeting and teaching centre.
