North Ryde. $200+ million hospital on track

When construction and fitout of the $200 million plus Macquarie University Hospital is completed in the first quarter 2010, the 183-bed facility will become the first private hospital on a university campus in Australia, when it opens mid-year. The hospital would enjoy a close relationship with the co-located Australian School of Advanced Medicine, Macquarie University's sub-specialty post-fellowship medical school, said Vice-Chancellor Professor Steven Schwartz. The university purchased full ownership of the hospital and all rights relating to its operation from project joint venture party Dalcross Holdings Pty Limited in August.
