The redevelopment of The Children’s Hospital at Westmead has reached a significant milestone with the completion of the highest point of the new 14-storey Paediatric Services Building, part of a $619 million Stage 2 expansion.
The new building will house a variety of critical healthcare services, including enhanced neonatal and paediatric intensive care units, cancer services, operating theatres, a new pharmacy, and more.
The redevelopment also includes a new multi-storey car park, a revitalised ‘KidsPark’ featuring retail to provide convenience for patients and their families, an Aboriginal gathering space and playgrounds, and refurbishment of existing spaces within the hospital.
Its design includes façade panels which illustrate the movement and reflections of various rivers and creeks in the region.
As a major development in Western Sydney, the hospital continues to play a pivotal role in the region’s growth.
Scheduled for completion in 2025, the project is progressing with 300 workers on site daily, which is expected to increase to 500 at the peak of construction.
Health Infrastructure is delivering the project in partnership with the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network, supported by significant philanthropic contributions from the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation.
