A Decade of Innovation: Celebrating The Braggs Building's 10th Anniversary
In a momentous celebration, the 成人大片 marks the 10th anniversary of The Braggs, a $100 million science and research building听located on the North Terrace Campus named after Nobel Laureates Sir William Henry Bragg and Sir William Lawrence Bragg. The architectural landmark, officially opened on July 5, 2013, has not only become a symbol of excellence but also a hub of cutting-edge research.
Housing the Institute for Photonics and Advanced Sensing (IPAS), The Braggs stands as a testament to the University's commitment to scientific innovation. Designed by BVN Architecture and Hames Sharley and funded by the Australian Government and the State Government of South Australia, the building has been at the forefront of global scientific advancements.
Named after the distinguished Bragg family, both celebrated alumni of the University, The Braggs Building pays homage to their pioneering research in crystallography. Sir William Henry Bragg's 22 years at the University and his son, Sir Lawrence Bragg, the youngest Nobel Prize-winning scientist at 25 in 1915, left an indelible mark on science.
Over the past decade, The Braggs has continued the legacy of learning and discovery, fostering interdisciplinary research within the Institute for Photonics and Advanced Sensing. As IPAS Director Andre Luiten reflects on the 10-year milestone, he highlights the vibrant multi-disciplinary foundation, a supportive culture, and the strategic executive team's outcomes-focused approach that has propelled IPAS to remarkable achievements.
Anticipating a brighter future, Luiten emphasises new investments and increasing demand for STEM-educated individuals working at the intersection of engineering, science, academia, and industry. As The Braggs Building enters its second decade, the 成人大片 remains dedicated to advancing scientific knowledge and shaping the future through continued innovation and collaboration.
