Buildings
The bulk of the school of medicine is centred on a group of buildings to the southwest of the main University of Otago Campus, in a block adjacent to the Dunedin Public Hospital bounded by George Street, Hanover Street, Great King Street, and Frederick Street. These include the Sayers Building, the Hercus Building, the Lindo Ferguson Building, the Scott Building, the Barningham Building, the Adams Building, and the Wellcome Building. The Fraser Building is located two blocks to the east. Other parts of the school are located within the hospital, most notably the Colquhoun and Barnett lecture theatres. The school's library occupies much of the Sayers Building, on Great King Street towards the northeast of the school complex. Two of these buildings have protected status on the New Zealand Historic Places Trust list of historic buildings, with the Lindo Ferguson Building listed as category I and the Scott Building as Category II. The former of these buildings was designed by noted archited Sir Edmund Anscombe.

Famous quotes containing the word buildings:
“The desert is a natural extension of the inner silence of the body. If humanity’s language, technology, and buildings are an extension of its constructive faculties, the desert alone is an extension of its capacity for absence, the ideal schema of humanity’s disappearance.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Now, since our condition accommodates things to itself, and transforms them according to itself, we no longer know things in their reality; for nothing comes to us that is not altered and falsified by our Senses. When the compass, the square, and the rule are untrue, all the calculations drawn from them, all the buildings erected by their measure, are of necessity also defective and out of plumb. The uncertainty of our senses renders uncertain everything that they produce.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
