Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) has been appointed by New South Wales Health Infrastructure as lead architect for the $270 million (AU$341 million) redevelopment of Sydney’s Concord Hospital.
The redevelopment will involve the delivery of a new comprehensive cancer center, additional inpatient capacity, enhanced ambulatory care services and Australia’s first comprehensive care center for retired service men, women and their families – the Rusty Priest Centre for Rehabilitation and Aged Care.
