The Westmead Innovation Centre forms part of the Westmead Hospital Redevelopment – the largest hospital redevelopment in New South Wales. With a highly flexible and adaptable plan, the centre is an environment that stimulates research and development, promotes interaction and knowledge sharing, and fosters creative and strategic thinking.

The design has been inspired and informed by Yerrenin – an indigenous term for meeting. It is designed to encourage collaboration, including “bump spaces” where staff naturally interact and share ideas through the day, exhibition space, large meeting environments, social spaces and a “new ways of working” space at the top. The prominent location on the campus creates a new identity for Westmead.
