Building Of The Bela Schwartz Lecture Theatre

The Foundation has donated to the construction of the “Bela Schwartz Lecture Theatre” at the Oral health Faculty building at Mons Road Campus, at Westmead hospital. This lecture theatre was developed as the rest of the building was refurbished. Adjacent to it is a dental chair simulation lab, capable of housing 55 students at the same sitting. The lecture theatre holds a similar amount of students, thereby allowing briefing of those students using the simulation laboratory.
