Glass and light give transparency to health sciences building AN open plan layout and the latest hi-tech medical training feature in South Australia’s newest next-generation university campus. The University of Adelaide’s new Health and Medical Sciences (HMS) building is a 14-storey vertical campus in the heart of the city’s emerging biomedical precinct. The 65-metre tall, $246 million structure opened late last month and was designed by Lyons Architecture. Situated along the north of the Adelaide CBD, it is a short walk from the new Royal Adelaide Hospital and the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI). It was constructed by Lendlease Corporation and contains 150 classrooms including state-of-the-art medical simulation facilities, lecture halls and the new 89-chair Adelaide Dental Hospital on its top three floors, which opens in July 2017.
