Notre Dame University Health Sciences

UNDA’s first new building on the Fremantle Campus is located on a former car park that replaced an earlier warehouse and is designed to provide specialist health sciences facilities as well as general-purpose education spaces and offices.
The core design philosophy for the building was that it would be clearly contemporary as well as reflecting the Victorian and Edwardian warehouses and offices of Fremantle’s West End. The building is prominently located on Phillimore Street and forms a signature entry statement to the university.

The specialist areas include a large exercise equipment room and a hydrotherapy pool with showers and change rooms as well as two entrances one for students and one for the public. Other facilities include a 150-seat lecture theatre a small-tiered lecture room for 40 general-purpose teaching rooms seminar rooms and offices.

The new building is constructed adjacent to the heritage important Fares House and the two are designed to link as one complex with a new lift designed to provide disabled access to six levels.
