Hames Sharley, in association with Cox Rayner, are currently designing the new $120M Oral Health Facility for the University of Queensland. Using the latest in both simulation techniques and ‘state of the art’ facilities for the treatment of patients, the OHC will be Australia’s largest and most advanced tertiary oral health facility, combining research, education, training, and specialist expertise in patient care. OHC teaching facilities will include clinical simulation areas, pre-clinical laboratories, lecture/seminar rooms, and research laboratories. Facilities for undergraduate and postgraduate education will include some 187 dental chairs distributed across 11 clinics, covering general practice dentistry, oral rehabilitation, paediatric dentistry, orthodontics, oral radiology, oral medicine, periodontics, endodontics, special needs dentistry and other specialist services, as well as a state of the art imaging centre, a learning centre and library.
