The Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney, NSW

The major redevelopment of this existing facility into a modern 810 bed, level 6 major tertiary & quaternary hospital, cardiovascular, renal (including transplant surgery), women’s and neo-natal care, critical care, day surgery and research/education facilities

The services includes a 22 operating room complex, 52 bed intensive care unit, NSW’s statewide liver transplant service, leading edge diagnostics, teaching and research and laboratory facilities. A second cyclotron (the fourth in Australia at the time) was added to RPA with a complete PET suite.

The Women’s and Children’s component of the redevelopment includes 9 delivery rooms, 4 birth rooms, 22 cot neonatal ICU / SCU nurseries, 30 bed ante-post natal unit and OPD. The result is a hospital that promotes flexibility, patient centred care and staff efficiency. 

The architectual hightlight of the project is the curved 9 level tower block of polished white concrete and zinc with an atrium of curved glass walls and suspended staircases. It also signifies a seperate Women’s and Children’s entry.

This project was in association with Daryl Jackson Architects.  BACK
