St Andrew's Toowoomba Hospital Day Hospital
The Day Hospital Extension Project stands as a remarkable testament to progress, comprising of a three-storey, 2,046m2 addition to the existing hospital. This transformative endeavour not only elevates patient recovery areas and theatre space but also introduces supplementary medical suites and storage facilities, enhancing the overall healthcare landscape.
Meanwhile, the PET Scanner Facility represents a pivotal milestone in advancing Nuclear Medicine services at the hospital. Through a comprehensive refurbishment of a 581m2 space, the introduction of a PET Scanner promises to revolutionise diagnostic capabilities, underscoring the institution's commitment to cutting-edge healthcare delivery.
Navigating the intricacies of construction within an operational hospital environment presented a formidable challenge. The relentless coordination required to mitigate construction noise and vibration, and ensure uninterrupted access to various hospital areas demanded unwavering diligence and expertise.
Throughout the project lifecycle, our team adeptly managed scope changes, including the integration of new Operating Theatres, a Medical Records Store, and additional service areas. Moreover, compliance with the stringent Building Code of Australia, particularly concerning fire services, compartments, and egress, posed a complex design puzzle that we meticulously addressed.
The incorporation of radiation shielding within the PET Scanner area further underscored the project's technical complexity, requiring innovative solutions within tight spatial constraints.
Benefiting from our longstanding partnership with St Andrew's Toowoomba Hospital, we spearheaded the projects from Concept to Completion with exemplary dedication. From the initial development of the functional design brief to continuous refinement based on end-user and contractor feedback, every aspect was meticulously honed to perfection.
The strength of our Client-Contractor relationship proved instrumental in swiftly addressing any challenges encountered during construction, minimising variation costs and ensuring seamless project progression.
