UNIVERSITY OF
WESTERN SYDNEY: SCHOOL OF MEDICINE, NSW
Project Overview
The $40M School of Medicine was constructed for the UWS by Hindmarsh on their Campbelltown Campus and was completed on time and within budget by January 2008, in time for the University to commence the inaugural classes in February 2008.
The building incorporates multiple spatial design solutions for a number of functional areas whilst establishing benchmarks for a holistic integration of Ecological Sustainable Design principles. This landmark building is an emerging hub for medical and health science teaching and research. It has been designed and built to train the doctors of tomorrow and to support the researchers of today. The School’s first graduates will be joining the health workforce as interns in 2012 and its researchers are already being awarded external grants. With a purpose built anatomy teaching facility, wet and dry laboratory spaces, development of infrastructure for population health research and a commitment to community engagement in its teaching and research, the UWS School of Medicine is an exciting development for the University and the region.
