Virtual engagement room opens for the new Footscray Hospital

The award-winning new Footscray Hospital virtual engagement room closed on 31 May 2022. The accessible version of the virtual engagement room continues to be available on our website.

We are excited to launch a virtual engagement room for the new Footscray Hospital, where community members are invited to ‘meet the builder’ and learn more about the design and construction of the $1.5 billion new hospital.

While we have been unable to meet in person for much of this year, visitors to the virtual room can explore interviews with the builders and experience a 3D tour of the final designs, from their comfort of their home.

The room also includes kids’ activities and an opportunity to contribute to a time capsule that will be placed on the site of the new Footscray Hospital.

With information in multiple languages, the room showcases construction milestones, design images and the community that has helped shape this once in a generation investment for Melbourne’s West. There will also be opportunities to submit questions to the project team and download further information.
