Bragg Laboratories (Darling West), The University of Adelaide |

Educational Building - Bragg Laboratories |
| Significance |
The Bragg Laboratories at the University of Adelaide were built in 1962 during the postwar period 'science boom' of the late 1950s and early 1960s which arose from the Cold War rivalry between the Soviet Union and the United States. Designed by Hassell and McConnell, the laboratories are significant as a representative of twentieth century architecture of the International movement in the style of Mies van der Rohe.
They were so named to commemorate the centenary of the birth of Sir William H Bragg, one of the University of Adelaide's most revered scientists who was appointed to the Elder Chair of Mathematics in 1886 at the age of 23. Not long after he left in 1905, he and his son were awarded the Nobel Prize for physics. (PJS 24/11/97) |

Disclaimer
While due care has been taken to ensure that the SA Heritage Places Database accurately reflects the South Australian Heritage Register and listings of Local Heritage Places in Development Plans, the State of South Australia does not accept liability for the use of the SA Heritage Database for any purpose. Users should consult the Department for Environment and Water - Heritage South Australia to confirm the listing of State Heritage Places and the relevant Development Plan for Local Heritage Places/Contributory Items.
In the majority of cases, the maps of State Heritage Places on this web site show the footprints of the most significant structures on a registered Place. However, sometimes they simply indicate the complete area of land comprising the Place. Work is proceeding to further refine the mapping of such places. It is also important to note that development control is not limited to the registered structures but extends to their setting and structures nearby (what is termed ‘development affecting’ a State Heritage Place). Hence it is vital that exact details of the listed place and implications for any proposed development be discussed with Heritage South Australia staff, as they cannot be deduced solely from the information on this web site. The inclusion of a place in the SA Heritage Register gives no right of public access. Permission to visit properties must be sought from the owners. The accuracy of the mapping of State Heritage Places is not guaranteed. Please contact Heritage SA ( https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/sa-heritage-register) if you believe there is an error.
