This building has been designed as a surgical centre for ten ophthalmologists, all of whom have their own consulting rooms. The building consists of pre-operation and post-operation areas; anaesthetic block bays and two full-sized identical operating theatres.
The building is arranged on the site to present its narrow end to Bealey Avenue and keep the building’s bulk back from the street. This helps to maintain the scale of buildings along Bealey Avenue.
Wilson and Hill Architects were engaged by Forte Health Hospital to master plan, design and implement a reconfiguration of spaces to increase the hospitals overnight bed capacity and rationalise Theatre admissions
The original building was completed in 2007; accommodating new x-ray facilities, mammography and ultra-sound amenities and their support spaces
