Lot Fourteen is a business and technology precinct at the eastern end of North Terrace in Adelaide city centre, South Australia. The 7 ha (17-acre) site formerly accommodated the old Royal Adelaide Hospital, which was moved to a new building at the western end of North Terrace in 2017. Its name was derived from the original 1837 plan for Adelaide by surveyor-general Colonel William Light. By 2020, refurbished hospital buildings were home to a large number of tenants, and further new buildings and public spaces are planned, scheduled for completion around 2025. The redevelopment of the site has been led by the Department of the Premier and Cabinet.
The Aboriginal Art and Cultures Centre (AACC), also known as Tarrkarri, a new Aboriginal cultural centre and gallery, is planned to be the centrepiece of the development. A decision on its future is slated to be made by the end of 2024.
An entrepreneurial hub known as FIXE@LotFourteen (Future Industries Exchange for Entrepreneurship at Lot Fourteen) is being developed. A new 16-storey building will house the Entrepreneurial and Innovation Centre.
There are a number of technology-focused enterprises at Lot Fourteen. The headquarters of the Australian Space Agency, a Commonwealth government department, are located in the McEwin Building, along with SmartSat CRC and other space-related companies. The Australian Cyber Collaboration Centre (A3C) is housed in the Eleanor Harrald Building (former nurses' quarters), along with other technology businesses such as Inovor Technologies (space technology) and Presagen (health technology). The Australian Institute for Machine Learning, an artificial intelligence research institute created collaboratively by the state government and the University of Adelaide, is located in the south-western corner of the precinct. The Stone & Chalk start-up hub, in the old Allied Health Building, houses the MIT's bigdata Living Lab, along with 45 other technology-focused enterprises.
An International Centre for Food, Hospitality and Tourism Studies was being planned for the site, but has been scrapped.
