The opening yesterday of a new building housing ''the Dunedin Study'' will allow the ''fountain of youth'' to keep flowing. About 100 people attended the opening ceremony of the headquarters for the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study on the corner of Union St and Anzac Ave.Otago University department of psychology head and master of ceremonies Prof Mike Colombo called the new ''Dunedin Study building magnificent''. ''The knowledge that has been gained from the Dunedin Study is effectively a how-to manual on leading the longest, happiest and healthiest life possible. Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Research Unit director Prof Richie Poulton said his team was continuing the work begun by Dr Phil Silva. When the study started it ''ran on the goodwill of the Dunedin community'', including being housed in the Sunday school rooms behind Knox Church for a decade.
