UNSW Health Translation Hub (HTH) project contractor Hansen Yuncken will soon finalise the connection of the new HTH pedestrian bridge to UNSW’s Wallace Wurth Building, completing the vital link between UNSW’s Kensington campus and the Randwick Health Campus.
Scheduled to begin in late January, the construction work is expected to be completed by late February.
The project will proceed in stages and involve several key steps, including the installation of temporary hoarding and exclusion zones around the Wallace Wurth Building, the demolition of existing façade elements, and the installation of a new façade.
Ongoing works inside the Wallace Wurth Building are also progressing, creating a new corridor that will seamlessly connect the HTH building with UNSW’s Kensington Campus, facilitating smooth pedestrian flow between the two sites.
Following completion of the much-anticipated connection into the Wallace Wurth Building, the pedestrian bridge will open in late 2025 in line with the HTH building opening.
This new connection will provide the precinct’s community with easy access across multiple locations, including UNSW’s basic sciences facilities, the UNSW HTH, the Scientia Building, Prince of Wales Hospital and Sydney Children’s Hospital, Randwick, which will all be accessible via the HTH’s Level 2 pedestrian bridge.
