MHTP Translational Research Facility nears completion

The exterior of the new MHTP-TRF

The MHTP Executive Group was recently taken on a tour of the impressive construction site of the new Translational Research Facility.

The group included Monash Health Chief Executive Shelly Park, Chief Operating Officer Siva Sivarajah, Monash University Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences Dean Professor Christina Mitchell, Director of MIMR-PHI Institute Professor Bryan Williams, and Director Monash
Partners Academic Health Science Centre Michael Wright.

With all exterior works nearly complete, construction of the new MHTP-TRF is approaching lock-up stage.


On Saturday 14 February 2015, the tower crane was removed. Essential services and utilities are now being installed in preparation for the internal fit-out. Electricity will be up and running by mid-March. The two bridges connecting the hospital and the facility are now built.

The state-of-the-art facility will help us expand translational research and collaboration with our partners, Chief Executive Shelly Park said this week.

“The MHTP partnership presents a world of opportunity to our clinical and research staff. It will facilitate innovation through enhanced collaboration which will lead to improved
healthcare,” she said.

Set for completion in September 2015, the new facility will co-locate research, clinical and technological platforms to facilitate the collaboration of our researchers and clinical partners to accelerate and coordinate the translation of scientific breakthroughs.
