The mobile crane lowers the last section of the tower crane’s boom on Saturday.
The tower crane in the background is on the site of the university’s new $50 million five-storey animal research centre next door.
The new dental school building is part of a $131.6 million upgrade of the university’s School of Dentistry buildings, including a new 8000sq m clinical services building, with specialty and teaching clinics, a primary care unit, radiography and surgical suites.
Work on the dentistry buildings redevelopment has gone over budget by almost $2 million, with $46.5 million spent on it during the past year, because work had progressed more quickly than expected.
