The George Centre

The George Centre is the largest private maternity and paediatric hospital in Sydney, ensuring the ever-expanding community in Sydney’s south-west has access to cutting edge healthcare. Located on the corner of Gregory Hills Drive and Hermitage Way, the new facility is the first stage of three planned within the precinct. The greenfield site is surrounded by recently developed residential land release sites, which showcases the need for additional healthcare facilities in the area.

Buildcorp’s team engaged in a collaborative design process during construction, providing advice to the client which assisted them in accommodating future tenants. This included cost plans, early access options and milestone dates to allow the client flexibility in the decision-making process. The team built a 500mm set down over a 600m² area in the basement to allow the incorporation of subfloor services and drainage in a future design. During the design phase, Buildcorp worked closely with the consultant team to reach a design that was flexible to work with multiple MRI models. This resulted in flexibility to procure future tenants’ preferred MRI whilst mitigating disruption to hospital operations during installation.
