PROJECT:   Victoria Parade Surgery Centre

Architect:   Baade Harbour

Victoria Parade Surgery Centre - Reception  Administration area Surgery Recovery area

This project began as an empty shell within an existing building in the medical district of East Melbourne. The fit out incorporated five new surgical theatres with adjoining recovery areas, consulting rooms and administration/waiting areas. The surgical procedures to be performed within the new facility are predominantly eye, ear and nose operations, requiring a number of very specialised services installed within the ceiling and wall spaces, including specialised ventilation and air conditioning, happa filtration and medical gasses.

Throughout the project there were numerous buildability issues due to the difficulties of accommodating the services within the required ceiling space. The location of mechanical and service equipment required modification during the construction period which was under enormous time constraints.

The project also included the construction of an additional external structure to house dirty linen and waste, as well as supporting mechanical equipment and backup generators.

Additionally, Walton offered assistance to the client throughout the health department certification application process in order for the client to gain accreditation.
