| PACE will be constructed in three stages over the next five years on a prime site next to the Princess Alexandra Hospital, 3km from Brisbane’s CBD, on major transport routes and close to high quality community facilities.
The precinct is linked to The University of Queensland’s St Lucia campus and its major facilities via a dedicated pedestrian and bus connection, the Eleanor Schonell Bridge.
PACE Stage One will house UQ’s new School of Pharmacy, providing 15,800sq m of space comprising laboratories, other teaching facilities, offices and carparks. 
Construction commenced in early 2008 and will be completed in 2010.
A 360-seat lecture theatre, tutorial/break-out rooms and an indoor/outdoor café will be shared facilities for the School of Pharmacy and PACE-located businesses.
PACE will be an ideal venue for company meetings, seminars/training and to host international visits.
The move will allow the School of Pharmacy to boost its research capacity by 400 percent, generate an expected increase of $11.3 million in research income and significantly grow its undergraduate and postgraduate student body.

Construction is scheduled to start on Stage 2 in 2010/2011, with final project completion due by 2011/2012.
