Hi, I’m Adrian and I work at the University of South Australia. We’re at the City West
campus, home to our Business, Law, Art, Architecture, Planning and Design programs.
We’re excited to show you just some of the facilities we have for our students.
So join my colleagues and I as we show you a few of our favourite spaces at the City West campus.
Thanks, Adrian. So guys, welcome. My name is Jamie Green we are doing the City West tour today.
So lovely to meet you. I'm in the Student Engagement team. So we do all things events
for you guys. I also studied so I know the struggle. I know the fun. So I did Marketing
and Communication right at UniSA Business in the Yungondi building. So essentially we're walking
in the whole area is called the atrium. Actually UniSA Business has a double
accreditation, EQUIS, and AACSB. So they really are ranked very highly in the world, world
class UniSA. So as we go in here for UniSA Business students, we have the careers team,
the alumni team and the MBA team. They do so much for students as well as the student engagement and
business hub. Business Hubs helps you with all things study plans, electives, any kind
of grievances, and then the student engagement myself, we do all the fun things like the events,
and then the business careers they do like the BCMP (Business Career Mentor Program),
and the MBA do networking sessions. So no matter what your journey is, if you want to have some
fun, if you really want to go into doing career work or gaining experience UniSA Business has
everything you possibly need. And so behind me, we have the ASX, the Australian Stock Exchange
and the Dow Jones market data feed. And that's wrapped around the whole Yungondi building.
And that really ties into the next place we're going which is the Iress Trading Room.
This is very, you know, state of the art very serious stuff happens in here. So the finance
students gain access to this place. When they're studying their finance degrees. They get hands on
global data market data feeds while they're working in here. So this is actually the same
technology, the same software used by leading banks and investment firms. So it really is
state of the art. It's the first of its kind in South Australia. So we're really leading the way
so things to look forward to you guys. Thank you for the first leg of this tour that you've been on
with me. I can't wait for more. We've got a lot ahead of us. Welcome guys over to you, Adrian.
Hi again, and welcome to our Dorrit Black building. So this building is home to our creative
spaces. So our UniSA creative students use these spaces. So architecture students, design,
and contemporary art students as well. So this whole building is full of workshops. So upstairs,
we have our photography workshop, our printmaking, our sculpture, ceramics, jewellery, and metal,
but we're just going to be looking at our digital workshop first, and then our traditional workshop
as well. So within this space, we have some great equipment from 3D printers, to laser cutters,
CNC routers, water cutters, etc. So essentially, this space is used by students to create their
design goals. So it would go from a concept drawing right through to a model or prototype
and sometimes even through to a production item as well. So they get exposed to a range of different
materials and processes through this workshop. So we're going to head into our traditional workshop
now as well. So within this workshop, we have more of the traditional analogue equipment,
from drill presses to circular saws, and also hand tools in here as well. So we have dedicated class
times in here. There's also additional times where students can work on their projects,
and finish their design ideas. So these spaces are amazing to give students that whole process
from a drawing or a concept right through to that end product. So we're going to
meet one of our architecture students. So with us today, we have Jenny, Jenny's
from China, and she's studying the Bachelor of Architectural Studies. How you doing, Jenny?
Good thank you. Brilliant. And how's your program going?
I have enjoyed the practical nature of the design, also the amazing facilities and helpful teachers.
Fantastic and tell me a bit about this space. So how do you use this space?
In my year two studies, I have learned how to cut this timber material. Also, we need to do the
big model for our program. So the first thing is you measure the size of your building here,
and then move to here to use the laser cut machine to cut your material nicer.
So you can make your program more in completing. Fantastic. So I guess you get exposure to a range
of different materials and processes as you would in a normal architecture practice firm.
Yep. So tell me about your teachers.
So how do they help you utilise this space? Yeah, they really help us to
teach how to use this space more safely. They also help us to do our project more, completely.
Fantastic. So that concludes our digital and our traditional workshop tour. Back to you, Jamie.
Thanks for that, Adrian. Hello again, guys. So we are in for some exciting times. Now we have FM
behind us so essentially, they are security. So if you're ever studying late, they will
look after you they have escorts to drive you to your car to your bus, whatever you need.
So they're always on campus 24 hours, seven days a week. So you'll always be well looked after.
We also have next to them the Career Services at UniSA so if you're doing up your resume,
you're looking for jobs, you need industry experience, they have it all.
And the best is the Jeffrey Smart building. So this is the JS, all the buildings here are the
letters after the word so JS is s Jeffery Smart, you get me. So welcome on in guys,
I probably think that the best thing about this place is the cafes. Studying, of course is very
important, That is what we're at UniSA for but we have incredible cafes here. If you know anything
about Australia, it's that we have good coffee. And I have a cappuccino with skim milk and honey.
It's probably the best if you get a chance to try, try that. And these guys are whipping up
everything you need. You can smell the coffee. Can you smell it through across the screen? I bet you
can. It's that strong. So guys, when you come on campus, make sure that you're drinking a lot
of coffee, staying hydrated because Australia is hot. As you all know. So guys, here we are
inside the Jeffrey Smart building. We have 600 computers here, we have laptops that you can
hire for free as a UniSA student, you get your student ID card that you'll be given
when you come to UniSA. It's your one stop pass for everything for rooms for using computers.
And yeah, so now we are up this big staircase. You can hear me panting. This is gym day,
we'll show you the gym a bit later on. But we're on our way now to Campus Central and
essentially Campus Central is the brain of UniSA. So if you have any questions, any
queries, anything, they’re your first stop shop, I think they call it but we're going to ask them
in the flesh. They are over here, but they also on the phone because they're always busy.
But let's ask them a fun fact and see what they can tell us about Campus Central.
Fun fact about Campus Central. Hello, hello. Hello again.
We are the brains of the uni.
There are four ways to contact us now. Four ways to contact you.
Over the counter, by phone, by email and now via chat as well.
Oooh chat. There you go, guys. . We can send them a little chat now as we're
speaking. Thanks, guys. Alright, so here is where we would meet our Study Help Pals. So essentially,
they can help you with assignments, study advice. Yeah. And they're always there,
they’re other students that are doing well in their subjects. And yeah, they can help you
with referencing all of that kind of thing. We also have the PASS room, which stands for Peer
Assisted Study Sessions, all these acronyms guys. But they are essentially really high achieving
students who have done like a class before. And they're helping you with your assignments,
all of that kind of thing. Now, we are very technologically advanced here at UniSA. So you
can book study rooms, you can find printers, you can even find a staff directory on these
big screens that are all over campus, so you will never be lost. And if you are we have little maps
for that online as well. What is it called, Lost On Campus? You can download that on the App Store.
And yeah, here you can get books that are book returns textbooks. And yeah, you can meet a
lot of friends in the library. There's kitchens everywhere. Yeah. Welcome guys over to Adrian.
Hi again, and welcome to the Kaurna building. So the Kaurna building hosts our studio spaces
for our architecture and design students as well. So our students have 24/7 access
using their student ID card into these spaces. As you can see behind me the students regularly
exhibit their work on the wall. They've got models in here. They're working on their prototypes,
we're going to catch up with Jenny again and just sort of ask her how she uses these spaces.
So I can see Jenny's got her models in front of her. So hi, Jenny. Good job here.
So um, yeah. Tell me a bit about these spaces and how you use the facilities in here.
Yeah, the space in here is usually we
use for the presentation. So when you finish your design, we need to present in here.
Yeah. All right. So this model is to
discus and to show our project detail. Great. How about we have a quick look
at the studio spaces as well. And you can tell us a little bit about these spaces.
So I guess being 24/7 access you use them at all sorts of odd hours during the night.
Sometimes, yeah.
All right. So we've got a class on at the moment in one of the studio spaces. So yeah,
tell me about how you use these studio spaces. The spaces in here, I really love it because
it's so big and so free. So we have a lot of project which is a group project. So we
need to discuss with our classmates also our tutors together. And we join here we
created something here. Yes, really nice. Great. So these are dedicated teaching and
learning and also collaborative, creative spaces where you can work on your models.
And you've also got classes that you attend in here as well.
So brilliant. Well, that's the end of our Kaurna building tour. So back to you, Jamie.
Hello again, guys how’s the tour going, I hope you’re doing a lot of exercise wherever you are,
to keep up with me, walking around! So we are now in Pridham Hall, the PH building,
you can dip-dive in with us to the pool. How incredible and refreshing, you can learn to
swim here or if you’re a swimmer already you can do laps. Also beneath us across from the pool we
have the UniSA Sport Gym, it is state of the art, there are treadmills and all kinds of things.
I have a gym membership, not going, but I will go, I promise you. Also down there you can sign
up for UniSA Sport clubs, so that could be hockey, that could be cricket, whatever you fancy, soccer,
AFL, all kinds of things. They even have gridiron, so we have it all here at UniSA.
So here is where a lot of students practice, we have badminton, basketball, netball, rockclimbing
guys – that is cool! You see the rockclimbing wall behind us here? So essentially at UniSA,
we have all the different kinds of sports, we want you to have amazing wellbeing,
physically and mentally, so that’s what this place is all about, but also this is where we have
UniSA graduations. So when you graduate one day with your incredible degree and your parchment,
you’ll be walking across the stage with your family and friends cheering you on, I did that and
I did a bit of a queenly wave as I went across the stage. So can’t wait to see you graduate one day
and yeah guys, welcome to Pridham Hall can’t wait to see you here soon. Back to you Adrian.
This transition is really fast. Welcome to our Pharmacy Practice Integrated Learning suite. So
this is available for our pharmacy students here at UniSA. And it's as you can see, it's set up as
a model pharmacy, it has all of the medicines and pills that a normal pharmacy would have. So our
students really get to explore the range. Here at UniSA we also offer pharmaceutical science.
So let's have a look at the facility here, so this is the first of its kind
in Australia and it's touchscreen technology. So students can come in here with a full range of
products. So if we click on the cold and flu, we can sort of have a look at the description and
our students can get a good understanding about all of these products. So if we move around the
room here and just have a look at the facility. So this is the classroom setup, the screens, the
software on here teaches students how to dispense medicines and it also has patient records as well.
So around here, you can see the really the full range of medicines and pills available
for the students as well. So that's it from the model pharmacy. Bye for now, back to you, Jamie.
Hello guys, and welcome back. We are at the Bradley building at UniSA City West Campus. So in
the Bradley building, we have MOD., MOD. stands for the Museum of Discovery. And inside here,
all of your dreams come true. Well, surely all of them. So we have exhibitions changing all the way
through the year at MOD. Right now I think we have a marine discovery, immersive kind of experience.
So the entirety of MOD. is highly immersive. Their cafe is behind us as well, which is always
exciting. It's so immersive. It's so interactive. It's open to the entire general public,
not just UniSA students. It's so interactive that every single wall essentially makes music at you.
It's all immersive. And guys, there's something really special I want to show you. I just want to
show you the world. That's all that I want to do. So come on over here. And here we are the
