UNSW Sydney has opened its $100 million Integrated Acute Services Building (IASB) at the Prince of Wales Hospital, marking a significant development in healthcare collaboration.
Located on the eastern side of Randwick's Prince of Wales Hospital, the IASB features research laboratories, health engineering facilities, and flexible teaching and research spaces.
The IASB includes four floors dedicated to clinical education, three PC2 laboratories, and three floors for health engineering.
UNSW Vice-Chancellor and President, Prof Attila Brungs, highlighted the benefits of the integrated space, emphasising how close collaboration between researchers and clinicians can improve patient care.
The facility represents over 60 years of partnership between UNSW and the Randwick Health Campus.
Jennie Barry, General Manager for the Prince of Wales Hospital, noted that the partnership with UNSW is set to enhance health outcomes for the community.
"The integration of research and education into the clinical environment will support the development of new care models and provide opportunities for staff education," said Barry.
The IASB is one of two new UNSW facilities in the Randwick Health & Innovation Precinct, with the second, the UNSW Health Translation Hub, scheduled to open in late 2025.
UNSW's investment is part of a broader $1 billion commitment from the NSW Government to the research precinct. JG
