The Lang Walker AO Medical Research Building – Macarthur is a world-leading health research facility featuring the latest technologies and cutting-edge laboratories. The new facility, home to the Ingham Institute for Applied Medical Research – Macarthur, uplifts the Campbelltown Health and Education Precinct.

Researchers focus on complex health problems, including mental health, diabetes, child health and wellbeing and addiction medicine. 

A major milestone achieved at the Sydney Biomedical Accelerator (SBA) – a first-of-its-kind integrated health, education and biomedical research precinct spanning ~36,000sqm and housing over 1,200 researchers and clinicians.

Tower Crane 1 has been installed, following months of detailed planning and stakeholder consultation. This milestone signals the commencement of the site’s vertical construction phase, enabling the movement of reinforcement, formwork and concrete elements. Tower Crane 2 is scheduled for installation in early 2026.

Once complete, this world-class facility will feature PC2 and PC3 laboratories, a biobank, collaboration areas and training facilities for over 8,000 anatomy students.
