The Auckland Medical Research Foundation (AMRF) Medical Sciences Learning Centre - Whakaaro Pai was officially opened in December 2005 by Prime Minister Helen Clark, and was awarded the prestigious New Zealand Institute of Architects Award.
Designed by Auckland architect Rick Pearson, the new learning centre is purpose-built for undergraduate and postgraduate teaching in anatomy, radiology, pathology and clinical skills. It houses a comprehensive tissue, specimen and anatomical collection in a formal museum-like setting. Display shelving is organised in a circular arrangement around a central core that depicts da Vinci's classic symmetrical image of man - the Vitruvian man. The circular design echoes the classic medical lecture theatre of The University of Padua in Italy, where anatomy teaching ushered in the modern era of medical education.
