Here at the IMO (Integration Management Office), we have seconded staff from both universities. One of the things that I have learned is that culture can change rapidly, in the right conditions. So, when people do have a shared goal, when people are collaborating to achieve something, a new culture can emerge quite quickly.

Virtually everything we do in Infrastructure is designed to make people’s work or study life better. Bringing people together is important, and even more so in the transition to Adelaide University. We are developing a fluid and intuitive gateway between UniSA’s City East and our own North Terrace campus.
