Allied Health
Under-used spaces on the North Terrace campus have been transformed to accommodate growth in the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences.
There has been major refurbishment in four buildings across the North Terrace campus that encompass a range of clinical teaching spaces, as well as admin support spaces for the Physiotherapy, Speech Pathology and Occupational Therapy programs. A notable feature of the project is a Simulation Hospital space, set up as group of twelve treatment bays to familiarize students with working in a ward environment.
A key feature of the project was the development of site-specific graphics. The University engaged two Aboriginal artists through Ochre Dawn (an Aboriginal owned and operated banding and marketing company) to create and install two pieces; Soli and Holistic Health by Anna Dowling, and Wirltu Yarlu – White-bellied Sea Eagle by Allan Summer.
The project was delivered in 3 stages and completed over 3 years.
