On the slopes above the DSS, at the University of Tasmania, you will see the distinctively designed Centenary Building. The Centenary Building hosts a number of related Antarctic and Southern Ocean research and education institutions and related programs.

The Institute of Antarctic and Southern Ocean Studies is a national centre for post-graduate teaching and research aiming to promote scientific and other studies concerned with regions south of Australia.

Here you will also find one of the world's largest research Centres on polar regions - the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre. The ACE CRC provides a focus for Australia's national effort to understand the variability of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean and their role in Australia's future. The ACE CRC is a partnership dedicated to sustainable management of Antarctic marine ecosystem resources and the study of atmospheric and oceanic processes of the Southern Ocean and their role in global and regional climate change.
