Latest - Curtin University's Super Sciences Project

---

Women’s and Children’s Hospital arose from the merger of the Children’s Hospital in North Adelaide and the Queen Victoria Hospital.

The scope included an onsite co-generation facility, a 30,000m2 six level facility for women’s health and birthing wards and refurbishment for functions such as engineering, laboratories and a new front entrance.

Challenges included interfaces with existing engineering services and working within a very tight operating hospital site.  Planning and constructing separations were a constant challenge.

Design was managed on a fast track basis.
