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.

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 ...

For what it's worth, I think fellow Sensational Adelaide members would want to know what happens when energy efficiency is done poorly. When you request a lift, the wait for one to even arrive can be a minute or more. The afternoon is the worst, when it stops at every floor on the way down, includi...

A few quick ones from today.

Seems to be running a bit behind schedule - the original plan was for completion in time for Term 1 2024.

Filling station tanks aren't typically particularly large or deep, whereas the tunnels will be at least 10m below ground level so I can't see there will be any risk of the two meeting.

Police horses are a waste of resources to being with. It would be better to do away with the mounted unit and buy more police cars.

I don't share your enthusiasm to sit here, but really pleased to see the utility boxes have been removed! Thanks for the update. Haha, I wouldn't quite call it enthusiasm and I admit I've never sat here myself but I do see people there quite often so it must have some level of appeal/convenience. N...

IMO aside from being very exposed, the tiers are not deep or levelled enough to offer decent sight lines, and in any event, view only towards a bunch of utitlity boxes: https://i.imgur.com/ADUxEqg.png I had a look on the way past this morning and it appears the utility boxes have been moved. It mus...

A few from this morning: https://i.imgur.com/4Jw5gQM.jpg https://i.imgur.com/IN4iIvg.jpg https://i.imgur.com/bxsOAOQ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/1DGXoY0.jpg https://i.imgur.com/OIwAvqI.jpg It seems there might be a couple of irrigation-related issues. Other than that the grassed areas are all in good sh...

To be honest, when I first saw the current configuration I actually thought it was an amphitheatre type outdoor event space... And they actually should turn it into one when they get rid of the ramps... That's what I presumed its intention was too. I do quite often see people sitting on the tiers l...

So yes, they will be getting rid of the ramp in favour of stairs and lift. Sadly, it doesn't look like they're doing anything to the weird grassy tiered area, so the new stairs will still lead down to an unresolved space. I don't mind that bit - I always presumed it was a nod to the old amphitheater.

There are definitely a couple of offices for DIT staff and the cleaners use the small door next to Platform 9 so I presume it's largely station/rail admin. There is a staff entrance for the Intercontinental next to the old phone booths on the other side. I'm not sure if the hotel actually has any st...

A quick snap from the tunnel looking south:

Looks awesome!
