ON TOUR 107

Westmead Education and Conference Centre, Parramatta

Teaching Hospitals have always shared space with Universities. What sets this redevelopment apart is that in designing a shared space to accommodate more active learning it has given people from across the University of Sydney, The Western Sydney Local Health District (WSLHD), The Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network and other members of the Westmead Research Hub time to consider what is important. Not just for the students, but for all involved in addressing the complex challenges of our time.
