The proposed Sydney Biomedical Accelerator (SBA) is a 36,000 square-metre health, education and research precinct comprising three buildings, and will be co-located at the Royal Prince Alfred (RPA) Hospital – Gloucester House and the University’s Camperdown campus.
The Isaac Wakil Biomedical Building will be one of the three buildings that make up the SBA complex and will connect to the Susan Wakil Health Building, which opened in 2021 and is not a part of the SBA.
The project is a partnership between the University, the Sydney Local Health District and the NSW Government, in collaboration with the Centenary Institute.
