The UNSW Health Translation Hub (HTH) will be a place for ideas, connectivity and innovative approaches. It will bring together researchers, educators, students, industry partners and clinicians to advance health.
The facility has been developed to support the acceleration of improved health services for communities locally and globally, and UNSW will also connect with the community through an art, exhibition and events space on the ground floor.
On levels 1 and 2, UNSW will host research and teaching clinics across various disciplines including mental health, optometry and allied health. State-of-the-art teaching facilities and clinical simulation rooms will create a hands-on learning environment for students, with a teaching gym, mock pharmacy and blood collection facility planned.
Across the upper floors, flexible workspaces will enable different teams to work on specific issues like curing cancer, improving the health system, using data, ensuring equitable treatment, enhancing genomics and genetics, and improving health across the lifespan.
UNSW groups to be located in the new building include: • School of Clinical Medicine • School of Population Health • Centre for Big Data Research in Health • International Centre for Future Health Systems • Centre of Excellence in Intellectual Disability Health • Faculty of Medicine & Health Office • Australian Research Centre for Cancer Survivorship • National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre • Health and Justice Law • Tyree Foundation Institute of Health Engineering.
