A Werribee landmark, the striking six-level Werribee Mercy Hospital building signposts itself as a cornerstone of support and care for the Wyndham community.
The four-level extension, known as Stage 1C, provides six new operating theatres, Central Sterile Supply Department, 64 inpatient unit beds including eight critical care beds and additional associated works including car parking for 140 cars.
The design places patients as the highest priority, ensuring safe and efficient operational requirements are achieved within a serene environment that affords views and attractive aspects to all patient beds.
Realised from design to completion in three years, the multidisciplinary team led by Architectus devised a structural, staging, acoustic and servicing strategy that allowed the original two-level hospital to maintain operations during construction of the four levels above.
This is the second collaboration between Architectus and international health architects HDR, following their partnership on the award-winning Sunshine Coast University Hospital.
