The new clinical administration building is the first stage of a larger expansion project for The Centenary Hospital for Women and Children on the Canberra Hospital campus.
The project included a new two-storey administration building, office fit-out, new generator enclosure, and the redevelopment of significant inground infrastructure at Canberra Hospital that crosses the site. The administration building connects to an existing structure via a link bridge on level two and is situated above an existing substation and generator, along with the new generator enclosure, presenting various technical challenges.
Within a small building footprint, the fit-out aims to create a flexible office environment, accommodating twenty offices, open workstation areas, and three meeting rooms, along with supporting tea points, printing facilities, and toilets.
The design of the external fabric aims to reference and complement the existing adjacent building, while the internal fit-out features a sophisticated and inviting colour palette.
