The redevelopment of The Children’s Hospital at Westmead – Stage 2 has an investment of $619 million from the NSW Government. The project responds to demand for paediatric services for children across NSW and locally. The new Paediatric Services Building will provide expanded critical care and acute healthcare services which will be co-located with the new Emergency Department developed in Stage 1. A multi-storey car park will also be delivered as part of the redevelopment project.
City People is currently engaged as the Arts, Play and Discovery consultant for this project. In collaboration with specialist play advisors Toy Diplomacy, we are currently developing and implementing a curatorial plan for arts, play and digital integrated into public domain, clinical and non-clinical spaces across the new facilities at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead.
