Facts & figures
This state-of-the-art new building brings together multiple health disciplines to work out of the same precinct. Working alongside each other in this new facility creates unique inter-professional learning programs and multi-disciplinary research opportunities. It places our students and staff at the forefront of health innovation, learning and policy.
Designed by Billard Leece Partnership and Diller Scofidio + Renfro this building will be a place of innovation, learning and socialisation. Spread out over 8 floors with views across the city, its facilities include:
A focus on activity and movement, social equity and the utilisation of the Wingara Mura design principles have been key priorities in the building’s design, with features such as the Yooroang Garang academic space (a dedicated space for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to connect and work together), gender neutral facilities and the Upper Wakil Garden (a place of respite at the heart of the building) all playing a part.
Located on our Camperdown/Darlington campus, students and researchers leverage the benefits of the proximity of our location adjacent to the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and other leading medical institutions.
The building will house Sydney Nursing School and the Sydney School of Health Sciences, along with the Central Clinical School and components of the Faculty of Medicine and Health.
