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) |
