State Herbarium of South Australia

The State Herbarium of South Australia, sometimes called the South Australian Herbarium, and having the herbarium code, AD, is located in Adelaide, South Australia. It is one of several State and Commonwealth herbaria in Australia. The Department for Environment and Water is the state agency which is responsible for the Herbarium, but the Board of the Botanic Gardens and State Herbarium (established by an Act of Parliament, most recently the Botanic Gardens and State Herbarium Act 1978) is charged with its establishment and maintenance. The herbarium is responsible for Electronic Flora of South Australia. It also produces the journal, Swainsona (formerly Journal of the Adelaide Botanic Gardens).

St Peter's College, Adelaide
St Peter's College, Adelaide

St Peter's College (officially The Anglican Church of Australia Collegiate School of Saint Peter, but commonly known as Saints) is an independent Anglican primary and secondary day and boarding school for boys located in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. Founded in 1847 by members of the Anglican Church of Australia, the school is noted for its history and famous alumni, including three Nobel laureates, forty-two Rhodes scholars, ten South Australian Premiers, the 2019 Australian of the Year and the 2020 AFL Brownlow Medallist. Three campuses are located on the Hackney Road site near the Adelaide Parklands in Hackney. The Senior School (years 9-12) and Middle School (years 7-8) comprises the bulk of the grounds and most of the historic buildings. To the south of the site are the Preparatory School (years 3-6) and Palm House (reception-year 2). The college also owns an outdoor education campus in Finniss, near Lake Alexandrina. The School is a member of the G20 Schools group. St Peter's College is a day and boarding school and offers two matriculation streams in secondary education: the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) and the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB). St Peter's College, working with Martin Seligman and Lea Waters, has been instrumental in the development and implementation of positive education programs throughout Australia. The former Headmaster, Simon Murray, was Chairman of the Positive Education Schools Association.

Lot Fourteen

Lot Fourteen is a development site in the Australian state of South Australia which accommodated the old Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH) at the eastern end of North Terrace, Adelaide and which became vacant after the hospital function was moved to a new building at the western end of North Terrace in 2017. Its name was derived from the original 1837 plan for Adelaide by surveyor-general Colonel William Light. By 2020, refurbished hospital buildings were home to a large number of tenants, and further new buildings and public spaces are planned, scheduled for completion around 2025. Some non-heritage buildings were demolished. The redevelopment of the site is led by the Department of the Premier and Cabinet, headed by state premier Steven Marshall since late 2018. The 7 ha (17-acre) site is in within the cultural precinct of the city, next to the Adelaide Botanic Garden and with the University of Adelaide, University of South Australia, Adelaide Botanic High School and the Art Gallery of South Australia as close neighbours. The urban planning arm of the South Australian government, Renewal SA, is responsible for the redevelopment of the site. A mixed development, incorporating cultural institutions as well as residential, hotel and office uses is planned. Federal funds have been injected into the project, under an agreement known as the "Adelaide City Deal". The Aboriginal Art and Cultures Centre (AACC), also known as Tarrkarri, a new Aboriginal cultural centre and gallery planned for completion in 2024/5, will be the centrepiece of the development. This will exhibit a large number of cultural artefacts currently in storage in the South Australian Museum as well as artefacts and works of art sourced elsewhere. An entrepreneurial hub known as FIXE@LotFourteen (Future Industries Exchange for Entrepreneurship at Lot Fourteen) is being developed. A new 16-storey building will house the Entrepreneurial and Innovation Centre. The headquarters of the Australian Space Agency, a Commonwealth government department, are located in the McEwin Building, along with SmartSat CRC and other space-related companies. The Australian Cyber Collaboration Centre (A3C) is housed in the Eleanor Harrald Building (former nurses' quarters), along with other technology businesses such as Inovor Technologies (space technology) and Presagen (health technology). The Australian Institute for Machine Learning (AIML), an artificial intelligence research institute created collaboratively by the state government and the University of Adelaide, is located in the south-western corner of the precinct. The Stone & Chalk start-up hub, in the old Allied Health Building, houses the MIT's bigdata Living Lab, along with 45 technology-focused enterprises. An International Centre for Food, Hospitality and Tourism Studies is also being planned for the site.
