Sydney’s Blacktown Hospital, on which Jacobs
Engineering Group Inc. carried out all architectural work, received
three awards at the 2017 Design & Health International Academy Awards,

delivery of the second phase of the project, comprising new emergency,
birthing and maternity departments, operating theatres and an intensive
care unit. Jacobs continues to also be responsible for the
electrical/ICT/security design for this next stage.
The hospital, which will cater to a growing population in Sydney’s
western suburbs, is designed to reflect a diverse and multicultural
community and includes innovative features to make patient recovery and
needs a priority.
