The centre is named in honour of alumnus Charles Perkins, the first man of Aboriginal descent to graduate from an Australian university. The centre's academic director is Professor Stephen Simpson. Designed by Francis-Jones Morehen Thorp with Building Studio, construction of the 49,500 square metres (533,000 sq ft) A$385 million Centre began in 2012 and was officially opened in June 2014. Completed in the Modernist Australian architectural style, the centre was shortlisted for the World's Best Building award in the Higher Education and Research category at the 2015 World Architecture Festival. Many professorial chairs at the centre were funded by the A$20.6 million sale of a Picasso painting at Christie's, which was donated to the university in 2010.
