en.Wedoany.com Reported - The new Wattle Building at The Children's Hospital at Westmead has officially opened to the public.

Billard Leece Partnership designed the building for Health Infrastructure and the Sydney Children's Hospitals Network, as part of the largest pediatric health investment in New South Wales in 25 years.

The Westmead redevelopment stands alongside the new Sydney Children's Hospital, Randwick, which opened in late 2025, and the Minderoo Children's Comprehensive Cancer Centre.

The new building balances clinical care with patient well-being, emphasizing family connection, play, activity, and contact with nature. The project integrates pediatric medical services across three buildings and provides support facilities for families and caregivers, including a small grocery store, rest areas, and outdoor play spaces.

Key features include single-patient rooms designed as "bedrooms rather than wards," inpatient units grouped in clusters of 12 rooms, multifunctional family spaces open 24/7, interactive play and exploration areas, and biophilic design elements. The total gross floor area of the project is 57,000 square meters, with a multi-story parking facility accommodating 1,004 vehicles.
