The completion of Adelaide’s finest Cancer Research Centre is the final piece of the puzzle for Australia’s world class Biomed City
02 July 2018
Hansen Yuncken:
University of
South Australia will soon place
Adelaide on the map as Australia’s
largest Biomed City comes to life. Located adjacent to
Adelaide
University’s Health and Medical Sciences Building, the
South Australian
Health Medical Research Institute and the
new Royal Adelaide Hospital,
the BioMed City combines research, education, clinical care and business
development into the largest life science cluster in the southern
hemisphere.
Opening its doors to the public in May 2018, the $250m
Cancer Research
Institute houses the Centre for Cancer Biology which brings up to 250 of
Australia’s top cancer and health researchers to
SA in addition to other
innovative, multidisciplinary research laboratories including the
University’s School of Pharmacy. The Museum of Discovery will be a
scientific playground that will transform the public’s perception of
science, technology and innovation by offering immersive experiences
within dynamic, changing exhibition programmes.
Designed by
Swanbury Penglase and
BVN, this iconic
building showcases an
array of design features unique to the education sector. Contemporary
architectural features include timber ceilings, barestone cladding,
exposed aggregated flooring as well as antique brass door frames,
thresholds and door finishes. Taking centre stage are seven floating
interior staircases that offer an aesthetic feature in each of the
building's atriums.
With complex services and functional design integration similar to a
major healthcare facility, advanced construction and planning techniques
drove the project from concept to completion. A collaborative “HUB”
brought stakeholders into one common work space, creating a cohesive and
transparent work
environment where conversations were had and decisions made.
Delivered on time, on budget and safely, the completion of the Cancer
Research Institute cements a long-standing relationship with the
University of South Australia and is certainly another project to be
proud of.
