Principal, Andrew Schunke, expressed our pride and a huge sense of achievement in delivering this once-in-a-generation project that places the healthcare and research community at the centre to transform how we understand, diagnose and treat illness.
“After five years of intensive and rewarding collaboration, we are immensely proud of the Health and Medical Research Building at Flinders University and its opportunity to make a lasting impact in the lives of not just South Australians but throughout Australia and worldwide.”
Heralding a new era of medical research and innovation for the institution, the HMRB houses state-of-the-art wet and dry research laboratories, workspaces, seminar rooms and amenities within a 22,000-square-metre building designed to compete internationally and Connect with Country.
Alan J Duffy, Principal and project design lead, adds:
“As a health and medical research building, the design intent was always to connect the researchers with nature where possible. When Uncle Lewis said follow the lines of the rainbow sands, the design response was clear – the building should strive to connect land, water and sky, in its form, material and outlook”.
“It stands as a tribute to the groundbreaking research that will take place within its walls.”
