Our new showpiece dental education and practice facility and sports therapy complex will provide a state-of-the-art teaching and learning environment for students studying a range of subjects including dental nursing and technology, dental hygiene and sports therapy.
The new Centuria South Building will be linked to the existing School of Health & Social Care main building.
The four-storey, 4.200sq metre development is due to open in time for start of the 2010 academic year. It will also include sports therapy facilities, a series of laboratories and biomechanic and hydrotherapy facilities, plus general teaching rooms and academic offices.
The dental suite will have 20 dental chairs and practice ‘phantom heads’ and the facility will help to address the skills shortage in dental services in the region.
The building is designed by CPMG architects, who designed the recently completed Phoenix and Athena Buildings on the University campus.
Vice-Chancellor, Professor Graham Henderson, said: 'The new development will not only support our fast-growing provision in health and social care and sports therapy but also allow us, for the first time, to deliver programmes for dental therapists and dental nurses.
