The George Centre

Health specialist team delivers a 78 bed paediatric & maternity hospital facility in Sydney south-west's masterplanned health precinct

The George Centre will become the largest private maternity and paediatric hospital in Sydney, ensuring the ever-expanding community in Sydney’s south-west has access to state-of-the-art healthcare. Located on the corner of Gregory Hills Drive and Hermitage Way, the new facility is the first stage of three 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.

The brand new 5 storey, 10,000m2 floor space of health facility includes:

  • 78 ward beds, including 57 for overnight purposes
  • 5 operating theatres plus 2 endoscopic theatres
  • 4 birthing suites
  • Day surgery facilities
  • Imaging services
  • Pathology services
  • Endoscopy unit
  • In house catering facilities
  • State of the art patient IPTV (in room facilities)
  • 7 Passenger and patient lifts across the health building and car park
  • Construction of a new multi-storey car par including 215 parking spaces
  • Provision of an outdoor seating and recreation area

Years of health expertise and a robust design collaboration process ensures building flexibility

Our team invested in a collaborative design process during construction providing advice to our client which would assist 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. Buildcorp is strongly aligned with subcontractors and consultants with expertise in the health sector. During the design phase, we 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.

Client testimonial
