Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital C Block Ward 16 Refurbishment




AboutThe Project



Located on the QEII Medical Centre site in Nedlands, this $1.2 billion landmark hospital will provide tertiary-level health services, including inpatient, outpatient care, and ambulatory care.

With a 298-bed capacity, 12 operating theatres, an integrated research, and educational facility, as well as Western Australia’s only paediatric trauma centre and research facility, it will provide the best possible clinical care for future generations.

The project is approximately 120,000 sqm, extending up to eight storeys high, with an extensive basement under the entire footprint of the structure.

The double-skinned facade incorporates a mechanism to filter the sun’s rays to assist in cooling the building and contribute to energy efficiency.
