Russell Place commemorates the old Peter Nicol Russell building which has been known as the John Woolley Building since 1974. 

The building was originally named after Sir Peter Nicol Russell (4 July 1816 – 10 July 1905) who was an Australian foundry owner, manufacturing engineer, philanthropist and university benefactor. Peter Nicol Russell gave endowments totalling £100,000 to the Engineering School at University of Sydney, that led to the faculty now known as the Peter Nicol Russell School of Engineering
