Professor Paul Gatenby, Professor Ian Chubb and ACT Chief Minister Jon Stanhope open the new facility. |
The building was officially opened on the 60th anniversary of the University, August 1. ACT Chief Minister Jon Stanhope, who as ACT Health Minister was instrumental in the decision to fund the $12.1 million Medical School building, unveiled a plaque to mark the occasion.
Also welcoming the opening of the school were Vice-Chancellor Professor Ian Chubb, ACT Health Acting CEO Mark Cormack, and ANU Medical School Dean Professor Paul Gatenby.
“This building, which is essentially the nexus between the ANU Medical School and the Canberra Hospital, was always going to be an integral part of the Medical School’s ongoing success. It will foster inquiry, inspiration and achievement from the staff and students to be based here,” Professor Chubb said.
The Canberra Clinical School is located above the ACT Health Library, and has state of the art tutorial rooms, computer laboratories, a 120-seat lecture theatre, locker and shower facilities and a student common room. The academic units of medicine, surgery, psychological medicine and general practice are also based there.
