Refurbishment was a challenging mix of technical fitout and construction work. Major demolition works undertaken whilst the hospital remained operating over the Christmas Break. New sleep studies centre with special facilities and a new comprehensive bariatrics ward were constructed. Significant latent conditions relating to the construction of a new 5 storey fire stair were dealt with as works proceeded on levels 4 & 5 while levels 1, 2 and 3 continued to operate.
