UniSA - The Bradley Building (in conjunction with BVN)
Architect: Swanbury Penglase

Located alongside the Morphett Street Bridge and adjacent the New Royal Adelaide Hospital, the SAHMRI building and Adelaide University’s Health and Medical Sciences Building, the Bradley Building is a high-profile landmark and an integral part of the growing South Australian Health and Biomedical Precinct.

The building houses the Centre for Cancer Biology (CCB) which links the UniSA community with approximately 250 of Australia’s top cancer and health researchers, in addition to other innovative, multidisciplinary teaching laboratories and support spaces for the University’s School of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences. At the lower levels, ‘MOD’, a free to the public gallery and exhibition ‘future museum’ is intended to inspire a new generation of science aware community.

The design also includes atrium spaces and adjacent break out and structured meeting areas designed to facilitate collaboration between building occupants.

The project also involved significant interface with the public realm including a new connecting stair to the Morphett Street Bridge and a shared ‘Urban Park’ landscape space to the west.

Pridham Hall 
Architect: JPE Design Studio

More than just a building, Pridham Hall is in every sense a welcoming public place, engendering a genuine sense of community ownership and engagement, and promoting the University as an inclusive and progressive education provider.

The heart of the Uni SA City West campus, Pridham Hall accommodates over 2,000 students and guests for graduation ceremonies, providing flexible office and function areas, a multi-purpose sports facilities including a hall with multi-use courts and 25m pool, and accessible external public realms including an amphitheatre and green terraced areas for students, visitors and the Adelaide community. 

An extremely important aspect of Pridham Hall project is its contextual design response, its integration with the surrounding urban landscape and its connection to the adjacent public spaces. From the beginning, the project was conceived as a completely accessible and public space, inviting interaction and revealing the vibrant cultural life of the University – always open for meaningful interaction with the City.

Jeffrey Smart Building
Architect: John Wardle Architects in collaboration with Phillips Pilkington Architects, in consultation with Wilson Architects for learning spaces 

Named after an Australian artist of international repute, the Jeffrey Smart Building is the fifth building that John Wardle Architects has designed at the University of South Australia, this time in collaboration with Phillips Pilkington Architects. This building both acknowledges and extends the boundaries of the practice’s previous work on this campus, whilst strengthening the university's relationship to the city and its surrounds.

The Jeffrey Smart Building wraps around the Peter Hoj Courtyard. This courtyard, with its park like setting, open air cinema screen and established trees, works to reinforce the urban character of the campus.  It is animated with the theatre of student activity at ground level and on the balconies that wrap the building at the level above. The building offers a diverse range of learning settings that are supported by access to virtual resources and technology. The experience, orientation and scale of these spaces shift to become more focussed as they progress upward. The upper levels afford expansive views across the city reorienting one back to the world beyond.
