Photographs show the foundations and building of the New Medical School, the Blackburn Building. For a time the building was referred to as the Rockefeller Foundation Building, acknowledging the grant from the Rockefeller Foundation of 100.000 pounds. Building work commenced in 1931 and was completed in 1933. The location was close to the University's teaching hospital, Royal Prince Alfred. The Government Architect designed the building in an American Art-Deco style. The building housed the clinical school and facilities for teaching and research laboratories and theatres. It included the library, pathology museum and animal house. The Blackburn Building was demolished in 2018 but in its place the Susan Wakil Health Building will now provide for the teaching and research of the Medical School.PublisherSydney : University of SydneyLanguageEnglishSubjectUniversity of SydneyFisher LibraryUniversity of Sydney -- BuildingsPhotographsGeographic coverageCamperdown (Sydney, N.S.W.)TypeImageFile formatapplication/pdfCall numberhttps://sydney.primo.exlibrisgroup......48/alma991031580497205106CollectionThe history of the University of Sydney
