The Convocation Hall or Cowasji Jehangir Convocation Hall at the University of Mumbai is part of the Victorian buildings complex around the Oval Maidan in Mumbai that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It was built between 1869 and 1874, and designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, who incidentally never visited Bombay and worked from London.
[1] It is also known as the Cowasji Jehangir Convocation Hall, after the Parsi philanthropist Cowasji Jehangir Readymoney, who funded the construction.
[2] In 2006–07, the hall was restored by a team led by the conservation architect Abha Narain Lambah.
The project was given the Award of Distinction under the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation.
