The new facility will be approximately 4,000m² and will include an innovation hub, laboratories, a forensic service centre and office space. The facility has been designed as a two-storey building with highly efficient floor plates for PC2 laboratory and workplace functions. The project includes repurposing some existing buildings on the site to accommodate ancillary facilities.

CID is acting as PHF Science’s agent for the construction contract and is providing full project management services.

Construction commenced in mid-202. Key milestones achieved include the early completion of foundation works, erection of structural steel and ongoing timber framing and roof installation — all while operating adjacent to an active science environment. 

The project remains on track for construction completion in early 2027, with final demolition and landscaping to occur once PHF Science relocates to the new building.
