Construction began in September of 2012 on the $1.8 billion Sunshine Coast University Hospital in Birtinya, Australia. Located on the Kawana Health Campus, the 10-story tertiary teaching hospital is being delivered by Exemplar Health Consortium as a public-private partnership (PPP). The construction subcontractor for the sustainably designed project is Lend Lease. The facility will open with 450 beds in late 2016 and will be fully commissioned with 738 beds in mid-2021. 

The University of Dundee began building the $20 million Centre for Translational and Interdisciplinary Research in Scotland in July of 2012. Part of the College of Life Sciences, the four-story facility will house collaborative drug discovery research with labs, offices, support, and a high-throughput robotic and molecular pharmacology suite. Disciplines represented in the facility will include mathematical biology and biophysics, bioinformatics, and data analysis.
