The Caboolture Hospital Clinical Services Building has been awarded the FDG Stanley Award for Public Architecture at this evening’s Australian Institute of Architects Queensland Awards.
The project also received this year’s Social Impact Prize and a commendation for Interior Architecture.
Designed by Jacobs, the clinical services building is the centrepiece of the Queensland Government’s $400 million Caboolture Hospital Redevelopment.
The project brings landscape character into the heart of the design, resulting in an “integration of community, culture and clinical health services,” said the Awards jury.
As part of its Building Better Hospitals program, the Government invested $352.9 million to build the new five-storey clinical services building.
The new clinical services building includes a new and expanded Emergency Department, 48 beds in new Medical Wards, a 20-bed Rehabilitation Unit, 14-bed Geriatric Evaluation and Management Unit, 10-bed Intensive Care Unit, 10-bed Palliative Care Unit, eight-bed Cardiac Care Unit and four-bed Chest Pain Assessment Unit, six Operating Theatres (including two new theatres) and four Stage One Recovery Spaces, and an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Unit.
