The two-storey building is the new focal point of the university’s medical precinct and links an anatomy and clinical skills wing, a pharmacy and medical research wing, and a lecture theatre via a shaded breakout space and breezeway.

The medical school wing houses teaching spaces, anatomy laboratories, a multi-purpose space and a clinical examination space. The pharmacy and medical research wing has teaching areas, PC2 research laboratories, work stations and offices. The acoustically designed lecture theatre has tiered seating and offers the latest lighting and staging technology.

The medicine and pharmacy school expansion integrates into the university village master plan which allows (in future expansions) for a direct link from the medical school precinct to the Townsville Hospital located opposite the university.
