University of Queensland Mayne Medical School, Heritage-listed medical school building in Herston, Brisbane, Australia.

The red brick building stands three stories tall, incorporating Renaissance design elements and occupying a ridge next to Royal Brisbane Hospital.

The medical school opened in 1939 under Premier William Forgan Smith after decades of advocacy from Brisbane Hospital and British Medical Association personnel.

The Marks-Hirschfeld Museum within the building maintains over 7,000 medical artifacts documenting Queensland's medical developments through instruments and memorabilia.

Medical students access laboratories, lecture rooms, and research facilities spread across three floors, including a main galleried lecture theatre and specialized study areas.

The institution received substantial funding through bequests from siblings Dr. James O'Neil Mayne and Mary Emelia Mayne, leading to its current name.
