The integrated rehabilitation facility solution and upgraded the infrastructure supports the hospital as the NMHS Centre of Excellence for Rehabilitation, enabling rehabilitation services to be delivered in an integrated and unified approach.
The rehabilitation part of the project includes a new 16-bed ward, alterations and extension to the inpatient and outpatient therapy hub, and a new therapy garden. The neonatal nursery scope includes a new maternity assessment unit, a new Level 2A neonatal nursery, and alterations to the maternity ward.
The use of a combination of external face bricks and terracotta cladding for the walls, and polycarbonate and metal roofing which referenced the existing materiality, was essential. The manipulation and juxtaposition of these materials created a cohesive yet contemporary architecture.
