New headquarters for IPAS

The Australian Federal Government, South Australian State Government, DSTO, Defence SA and The University of Adelaide have invested over $40M to construct a headquarters for IPAS, which will house a unique suite of transdisciplinary laboratories.

These facilities include glass development and processing, optical fibre fabrication, laser and device development, luminescence dating, environmental genomics, photonic sensor development, and synthetic, surface and bio-chemistry and offices to co-locate IPAS researchers and students from a broad range of scientific disciplines. This will all be located in the University’s new Illumin8 building, which is due for completion by early 2013.

The Illumin8 building will also incorporate a 420-seat lecture theatre and other teaching and research facilities.
