DALLAS, June 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE:J)
was selected by Health Infrastructure to deliver architectural
services for the New South Wales
(NSW) government's $582 million (AU
$750 million) Royal Prince Alfred (RPA) Hospital Stage 1
Redevelopment project to redevelop and expand the existing facility
to meet growing demand for healthcare services within the
community.
The RPA redevelopment will deliver a new hospital building and
refurbishment of existing spaces, including more adult inpatient
beds and expanded emergency department, intensive care unit,
medical imaging services, operating theaters, and maternity,
birthing and neonatal services. Jacobs' architects will deliver
interior and exterior design and health planning services.
"We've worked collaboratively with Health Infrastructure for
more than 10 years to design world-leading, technology-forward,
award winning healthcare facilities for local communities and
our appointment on this project is testament to this successful
partnership," said Jacobs Executive Vice President Patrick Hill. "Thoughtful and tactical staging
of the work is critical to this project and we'll draw on our
strong relationship with key stakeholders and working knowledge of
hospital operations to reduce the impacts on hospital staff,
patients and the delivery of patient care."
Jacobs was previously engaged to develop the precinct plan which
included developing a sustainability strategy for a new,
world-class, sustainable, integrated health and education precinct
centered around the existing RPA Hospital. Taking its cue from the
broader precinct development sustainability strategy, the hospital
redevelopment project will take a circular economy/adaptive reuse
approach, with existing buildings to be repurposed and retrofitted
to integrate new technologies and support modern models of
care.
The project is commencing one year earlier than originally
planned, fast tracked by the NSW government as part of its COVID-19
Recovery Plan to create new jobs, improve resilience and build a
future-proof economy.
At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by
solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities,
resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational
advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing,
turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for
good. With $14 billion in revenue and
a talent force of approximately 55,000, Jacobs provides a full
spectrum of professional services including consulting, technical,
