Flinders University has restarted the driverless shuttle bus trial around Tonsley, this time with no backup driver on board.

It has been a while since anyone has reported on this project. I just happened to pass by last week (Thursday). work is now on the roof level. the external column are a golden brown colour compared to most Flinders buildings that are plain concrete grey. Please click on picture for bigger.

The building (and the whole development) will really change the skyline of the area. It's three stories higher than the tallest part of FMC, but it seems much, much bigger.

According to the masterplan, it may be joined by another 6 buildings (and a whole bunch of 4-5 level residential blocks over the road). It's good to see some development focused on the spur line so as not to be a train to nowhere. I would've liked for new faculty buildings to be built there with a view to migrating the campus over time from olympus mons down to the spur line. It appears though that the focus is more on the accommodation aspect. While traditionally this is a welcome logic in development, this is a bit of an exception because the students would likely be lodging with the purpose to study on the campus itself.

Don't know if it's been posted before, but here's the masterplan

Mods: should this perhaps be merged with the Tonsley thread? They're related in the sense that the primary concern is about development around the rail corridor and also Flinders is setting up in the Tonsley development zone as well.

There’s plenty of development at Tonsley not related to the University, Flinders is only one building out of many.

Flinders Village and the Tonsley Development Precinct might have a few similar goals but they’re two entirely separate ball games.

From Glam Adelaide.

Interesting to note that the height of this building is 51m. Which as far as I am aware would make it the tallest building outside the CBD.
Flinders Uni’s $280m project has reached new heights

South Australia’s largest integrated health and medical research precinct has soared to new heights, with the topping out of Flinders University’s $280m Health and Medical Research Building.


The new heart of South Australia’s largest integrated health and medical research precinct has soared to new heights, with the topping out of Flinders University’s $280m Health and Medical Research Building project at Bedford Park.

Climbing to its peak at 51m, the purpose-built ten-storey building will be home for more than 600 medical researchers, clinicians, and professional staff, translating world-class research into better health and wellbeing outcomes for the community.



“Building on our proud history as a pioneer in innovative health as the first medical school in the nation to be integrated into a public hospital, HMRB is a $280m gift by the University to the people of South Australia,” Vice Chancellor Professor Colin Stirling says.

Located adjacent to Flinders Medical Centre and Flinders Private Hospital, HMRB is the flagship building of the wider Flinders Village development – southern Adelaide’s biomedical research precinct that brings together research, education, accommodation, and amenity, and driving $1.5bn in economic activity, including 600 direct and 20,000 indirect jobs.

“My colleagues and I are working on the most challenging diseases of our time, sharing research space with Flinders Medical Centre and Flinders Private Hospital, and recruiting research participants from the population of some 370,000 in Adelaide’s south that they serve. But we have outgrown the space available,” Professor Claire Roberts says.


“Housing more than 600 basic, clinical and allied health research scientists together with data scientists and digital health experts, the 10-storey HMRB with its amazing state-of-the-art facilities provides exciting new collaborative research opportunities that will help us to make a difference to the health and wellbeing of people everywhere.”


Building on more than 50 years of exceptional health and medical teaching and research, HMRB will feature one of South Australia’s largest suite of PC2-rated physical containment labs spread across five floors, and be equipped with state-of-the-art cell imaging equipment.

They’ll be used by researchers working on improving health, preventing disease and combating community health inequities with a focus on molecular biosciences, clinical translation and healthy communities.

Premier Peter Malinauskas and Vice Chancellor Professor Colin Stirling celebrated by signing the uppermost beam atop the building.

“Flinders’ Health and Medical Research Building will utterly transform the south and this biomedical precinct, while building on the University’s 50-year partnership with the Flinders Medical Centre, just metres away, Premier Peter Malinauskas says.

“Today’s topping out is a great milestone for the advancement of health and medical research in our state, and I congratulate Flinders University for their research excellence, innovation and commitment to the health and wellbeing of our community.”

Set to be one of Australia’s most sustainable research institutions, HMRB will be 100% powered by electricity from renewable sources and will be built to a Gold WELL and LEED certification for sustainability and wellbeing. 100% of construction waste is being diverted from landfill during construction.

The facility has been designed with, and to serve, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and is on track to be completed next year.

View from higher up the hill. Work on the facade stopped for a couple of months, but is continuing again.

how come all this money spent on 'improving health' hasn't been leading to better health outcomes over these past few decades but rather worse?

Probably because the governments keep throwing money at building new facilities, but not spending money to maintain and manage the existing facilities and resources.
