Our current projects at the Randwick Health & Innovation Precinct

​​​​​​A flagship strategic project for UNSW, the Randwick Health & Innovation Precinct (RHIP) will leverage the precinct’s scale, diversity and expertise to influence and impact positive health outcomes.Ìý

Over the next decade, Precinct partners have committed more than $1.5 billion to redevelopment projects at the Randwick Hospital campus.

UNSW has two major capital developments in the Precinct:

1. A 5000m2 integrated addition to $720m Prince of Wales Acute Services Building (ASB; estimated completion in 2024).Ìý
   
2. The flagship UNSW Health Translation Hub, a 35,600m2 translational research building (estimated completion in 2025).

The RHIP realises a 60-year dream of the University to be better integrated with the adjacent Randwick Hospital campus.Ìý

The Randwick Health & Innovation Precinct is set to become the largest collocated health precinct in NSW. The Precinct spans Botany Street and brings together government, UNSW, four hospitals (Prince of Wales, Sydney Children’s Hospital, Royal Hospital for Women, Prince of Wales Private), preclinical facilities and nine institutes spanning neuroscience, mental health, cancer and other fields.

With construction currently underway the Precinct will position Sydney to compete at the forefront of health education, training and research internationally. This, in turn, will attract outstanding clinicians, health professionals and academics to drive better healthcare outcomes for patients and generate economic benefits for the community.

The UNSW Health Translation Hub (UNSW HTH) will bring together educational and medical researchers, clinicians, educators, industry partners and public health officials to drive excellence. Together, we will also support the rapid translation of research, innovation and education into improved patient care, delivering better health outcomes to the community.

About the UNSW Health Translation Hub

UNSW will commence construction of the Health Translation Hub (HTH)  in 2023. UNSW’s expansion into the Randwick Health & Innovation Precinct is on track to be completed in 2025.

A significant project for UNSW, the UNSW HTH will integrate health education, training and research with acute healthcare services, directly benefiting patients, carers and the NSW community.

Located on the corner of High Street and Botany Street, Randwick, the UNSW HTH includes:  

• purpose-built spaces for researchers, educators and industry partners to work alongside clinicians
  
• education, training and research rooms
• clinical schools and ambulatory care clinics
• food and beverage retail and supporting amenities including allied health services
• space for community and cultural events
• publicly accessible open space for the community
• pedestrian prioritised links, including bridges, to easily connect to UNSW’s Kensington Campus and the broader Randwick Hospital Campus.

UNSW Estate Management has managed the development process and has worked with some of Australia’s leading consultants including Architectus, Aspect Studios, Yerrabingin and Arup to develop the Health Translation Hub. The UNSW HTH has been developed to support the acceleration of improved health services for communities locally and globally. The UNSW HTH is not just a building but instead a place that will drive UNSW’s vision to realise future health benefits.

The new UNSW Plaza, with 2500 square metres of publicly accessible open space, will help to create an engaging and welcoming place for staff, students, patients, community and industry partners to learn, research, work and socialise.

The UNSW HTH will sit adjacent to the Sydney Children’s Stage 1 and Children’s Comprehensive Cancer Centre buildings. These two buildings will accompany the Acute Services Building (ASB), currently in construction, to expand the Randwick Health & Innovation Precinct.

UNSW has approximately 5000 square metres of space in the ASB, which will promote the physical and working integration between UNSW and the hospital.

Facilities within the Integrated Acute Services Building  will broadly include:

• Research and collaboration spaces
• Clinical research spaces
• Clinical innovation and translation spaces
• Clinical translational laboratories (PC2 and PC3)
• Biomedical engineering innovation spaces

As part of the Liverpool Innovation Precinct development, a new node of the Ingham Institute will be developed for Campbelltown. Known as the Lang Walker AO Medical Research Centre, it will be based within the new $632m Campbelltown Hospital precinct, and is due for completion in 2024. The proposed Centre is a collaboration between Western Sydney University (WSU) and its research partners, (UNSW, South Western Sydney Local Health District (SWSLHD), Campbelltown City Council and the Ingham Institute) and will focus on addressing chronic local health issues such as diabetes, mental health and paediatrics.

Construction of the Lang Walker AO Medical Research Centre would align with the 2022 - Stage 2 redevelopment of Campbelltown Hospital.Ìý UNSW continues to develop plans for work which will further define the ongoing timeframes for this Precinct.

Led by Western Sydney University, this precinct will establish a world-class teaching and research campus in the Bankstown strategic centre that will potentially accommodate up to 7,000 students. Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital is located close to Bankstown strategic centre. A health and education precinct will emerge from the co-location of health and education facilities in the centre. A 2021 addition to the UNSW Health Precincts portfolio, UNSW is a member of the precinct but has not contributed to the current capital program for redevelopment of the hospital.
