Dr. Cecil T. Madigan was a contemporary of Douglas Mawson and a Senior Lecturer in Geology. In 1993, Room 131 on the top floor of the Mawson Laboratories was named the Madigan Room. Mounted on the north-western wall of this room are two photographs of Dr. Madigan and a plaque with an enscription about his life. The official naming and unveiling of the plaque was performed by his son, Sir Russell Madigan. Other speakers on the occasion were Prof. Eric Rudd, Lee Parkin, Dr. Ralph Segnit, Reg Sprigg, Rowley Twidale, Robin Oliver and David Corbett.
