This purpose-built facility represents a significant investment in the processing of blood and blood products, distribution, blood testing and tissue typing, and will provide research laboratories, warehousing, ancillary office/administration and staff amenities for the NSW branch of the Blood Service. Across four levels and 13,577m2, the building incorporates 5,830m2 of PC2 labs and process areas, 600m2 clean storage, open plan office accommodation and a 97 bay basement car park. The basis of the design was to ensure the building would be stable and fit for use for up to 4 days in a level 4 event on a 42 deg ambient temperature day with high humidity, and with a year 2031 population.
