We ’ re re-imagining health environments
Problem
Traditional health environments tend to prioritise clinical needs within their design . However , more innovative uses of space can deliver health , educational and social benefits .
Project
The ADA Innovation Hub x UNSW Health Translation Hub project promotes novel , research-driven approaches to space that foster a deeper engagement with our health . The Innovation Hub sponsored seed funding to develop creative strategies for the new UNSW Health Translation Hub building and its open space .
The design and integration of the building into the wider precinct and community is a complex project for the University and our health partners .
Five grants of $ 8,000 were awarded to project teams to research , prototype and develop innovative design proposals for the new building . The proposals considered built form and urban design as well as program design that engages with social and cultural interpretations of space .
