  • Getting here

    MOD. is located in the UniSA Bradley Building, on the corner of North Terrace and Morphett Street. There is unfortunately no car parking of any kind onsite, but there are on- and off-street car parks nearby.

    The nearby car parking ranges in suitability depending on access needs. The closest undercover car parking is at the Adelaide Convention Centre, with a height clearance of 1.96m. There are some on-street disabled parks located outside the Jam Factory on Morphett Street and next to Samstag Museum of Art on North Terrace.

    If you are looking to visit by Access Taxi, there is a useful car park slip lane outside the Jam Factory on Morphett Street to load/unload motorised wheelchairs.

    We are located opposite the City West tram stop, which can be useful if you park at the Entertainment Centre Park ‘n’ Ride and catch the tram in.
