The Lady Lamington Towers is a century-old state-listed heritage building that has been adaptively reused from its original purpose as nurses accommodation and refurbished for contemporary student accommodation. The Towers are the centrepiece of the Herston Quarter, which is a vibrant, diverse and connected community comprising world-class health infrastructure, student, commercial and residential accommodation, childcare and supporting complementary uses. The Herston Health precinct is internationally renowned, situated amongst world leading research and tertiary institutes and the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital.
