New Kolling Research Building by HASSELL OpenDesigned by HASSELL, the new $92m Kolling Building for Research & Education is the first project to be completed in the redevelopment of the entire Royal North Shore Hospital Campus.
The building which currently houses 350 researchers, education and animal house activities will eventually accommodate 500 researchers.
It is well connected to the new main hospital building, allowing easy flow from the acute care area to the research area for the many staff members engaged in active clinical research.
The new facility relocates medical research scientists, clinicians and educators from over twenty buildings spread across the campus into an integrated, shared facility.
The consolidation of research and education activities has created a dynamic environment with a greater capacity for teams to share knowledge as well as resources.
The Royal North Shore Hospital is renowned for its "bench to bedside" research philosophy.
This is where staff members are engaged in practical research that can be applied to patient care in areas such as cancer, pain management, diabetes and perinatal medicine.
The Kolling Building for Research & Education, named in recognition of the hospital's prestigious Kolling Institute of Medical Research, has its own architectural identity and discrete presence on site.
