Mater Private Hospital Springfield

Springfield, Queensland

A New Façade

The Mater Private Hospital in Springfield represents a transformative addition to the Health City Springfield Central precinct, designed to meet the growing healthcare needs of the community while setting a benchmark for future development. The $85 million facility, delivered through a joint venture between STH and PDT, combines functionality with innovative design to create a patient-centered environment.

The five-level, 10,000 m² hospital provides a comprehensive range of medical and surgical services, including four operating theatres, inpatient wards, a day surgery unit, and advanced medical imaging. A dedicated cancer centre, supported by federal funding, offers 15 medical oncology treatment bays and a linear accelerator, addressing the critical need for accessible cancer care in the region.

The design emphasizes both aesthetic and practical outcomes. A curved perforated screen on the façade not only enhances the building’s visual appeal but also adapts to changing light conditions, creating a dynamic and calming presence. Inside, patient rooms and facilities prioritize comfort and control, fostering a healing environment that has been widely praised by patients and staff alike.

By integrating seamlessly into the broader health and wellness precinct, the hospital supports the community’s long-term health goals. Its efficient layout and advanced systems ensure operational excellence, while its thoughtful design reflects Mater Health’s commitment to delivering world-class care. The Mater Private Hospital Springfield stands as a testament to how innovative architecture and strategic planning can elevate healthcare delivery, creating a facility that is both functional and inspiring.

“It was a great feeling to be able to open the doors and have patients through on day one. The systems just turned on and worked. A real world outcome for the design, and it met the brief. We’re all very proud of the facility.”
Joanna Vasiliou, Director of Built Environment for Mater
