Parramatta Engineering Innovation Hub
Western Sydney University, together with University of New South Wales Sydney and in partnership with Charter Hall have delivered a $300 million world-class Engineering Innovation Hub project at 6 Hassall Street, Parramatta. Completed in August 2021, this education and commercial facility will be home to a new engineering program, developed and delivered in partnership with UNSW Sydney, in addition to course offerings in Architecture, Industrial Design and Entrepreneurship.
The Engineering Innovation Hub is located in the heart of Parramatta, providing opportunities to collaborate and engage with business and industry. Focused on innovation in engineering and built environment, the vertical campus is purposefully design for cross collaboration between students, educators, industry professionals and researchers.
This important facility will support the University’s integrated research programs including Innovative Cities and Urban Transformation. It incorporates our LaunchPad start-up incubator, which is fostering a vibrant start-up community in Parramatta as part of an innovation ecosystem across Western Sydney.
The facility features state-of-the-art technology infused learning environments, including maker spaces and workshops, within a flexible and smart building. Exhibition and event spaces on ground floor will invite the community in to experience and engage with the University.
The project complements the University’s Innovation Quarter project at Westmead, currently under construction, as well as its foundation high-rise campus, the Peter Shergold building, at One Parramatta Square (1PSQ).
The first cohort of students will commence in February 2022.
