South Australian School of Mines and Industries

The School of Mines and Industries opened in 1889 in the Exhibition Building on North Terrace until 1903, when it moved to the Brookman Building, now part of UniSA.
The first architectural course was established at the South Australian School of Mines by Louis Laybourne Smith in 1906. After the Second World War the School grew rapidly and Gavin Walkley, Laybourne Smith’s predecessor, expanded the School's programs to include town planning (the first course of its kind in Australia), building technology, interior design and landscape architecture.
