Great photos
and the learning spaces look high quality and conducive to learning.
Flinders Uni is really well placed now, between their three campus locations and their balance of research, industry linkages and new facilities.
They will grow and prosper as the chaos of Adelaide Uni takeover of Uni SA plays out over the coming 2-3 years.

I'm not sure how well initial demand is going for the new location - rumour has it a significant number of courses slated to be held in the CBD will no longer be based there, with enrolled students being advised they're being relocated back to either Bedford Park or Tonsley.
Just what I've heard on the grapevine at this stage, I'm sure all will become clearer in time.

Flinders University's Colin Stirling spoke about student numbers studying in the new CBD building last week:
He said close to one thousand Flinders students will study at One Festival Tower in the first year.
“This is one campus of several that Flinders has… we have a total of around about 27,000, 28,000 students,” he said.
“We expect through an entire year five to six thousand students will come through this facility once it’s up to full speed.”
It could be right that a few courses originally slated to be held in the CBD have shifted campus, but once everything's up and running in the new building, they will likely be held there.

I'd heard that it was more than a few, but hopefully just teething problems.

Are you wondering about their committment to a city campus?
I think there are many operational reasons that would explain a smaller start. For example, shifting building end dates likely would have been a challenge for timetabling so they've probably only moved the more straightforward courses now.
