The Capitol - which first opened in 1924 and has been closed since 2014 - was officially reopened today. Designed by celebrated architects Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahoney Griffin to evoke a crystalline cave, RMIT has transformed the treasured landmark into a contemporary destination for culture, education and innovation that pays tribute to the venue's wonderful history and architecture.
