\"Westmead,<\/a>

Westmead, New South Wales<\/p><\/div>\n

Multiplex has landed a contract from the New South Wales Government. The Sydney-based contractor recently won the main works contract to develop the centerpiece\u2014a 1 million-square-foot central acute services building\u2014of the $1 billion Westmead Redevelopment hospital project just outside Sydney\u00a0in Westmead, New South Wales, Australia.<\/p>\n

Multiplex\u2019s win comes after a seven-month early contractor involvement phase. Multiplex engaged in a comprehensive user group consultation process that included talks with all involved in the hospital community: clinicians, patients, family members and community members. The end result was a proposal for an HDR Rice Daubney-designed, 12-story vertical hospital that will hold the distinction of being the tallest hospital tower in Australia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new building will be built up rather than out and won\u2019t follow the traditional large horizontal floorplate,\u201d<\/em> David Ghannoum, regional managing director of Multiplex, said in a prepared statement. \u201cFor patients, this will mean faster transfer times, more natural light and better views from their rooms, aiding their experience and recovery.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

HEALTHY HOSPITAL GROWTH<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The U.S. is no stranger to big-ticket hospital projects like Westmead. According to a new report by construction project data provider BuildCentral, more than $21.5 billion of current and planned construction endeavors can be attributed to just 10 of the country\u2019s health systems. But the major developments aren\u2019t limited to the big 10. Other mega-projects across the country include the $1 billion expansion of Boston Children\u2019s Hospital<\/a>, and the $1.7 billion development of the Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center in Aurora, Colo.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe healthcare sector continues to drive a major part of the construction market,\u201d<\/em> CEO Rick Kang, CEO of BuildCentral, said in prepared remarks. \u201c<\/p>\n
