New facility will meet growing demand for quality healthcare services in Sydney, Australia

DALLAS, July 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE:J) was named by New South Wales (NSW) Health Infrastructure as lead architect and principal design consultant for stage three of the St George Hospital and Community Health Services campus redevelopment.
