The state-of the-art building has been designed to meet the best international and national standards to make it truly patient focussed and to support the efficient delivery of high-quality clinical services. It has a number of innovative design features including a fully enclosed winter garden, and car parking within the hospital building to create a secure environment for both patients and staff. In addition, the design and construction of the hospital has been to the highest standards of sustainability.
High levels of collaboration were required to coordinate designs and effectively model concept designs.
The project utilised BIM processes from early design stages to efficiently model alternative design solutions and building positions on a complex former industrial site. The chosen solution has been developed in accordance with a BIM Level 2 process with Curtins being responsible for modelling Civil and Structural elements using a combination of Revit and Civils 3D. The BIM process has been key to delivering a solution that satisfies the brief whilst reducing overall area and hence cost and build programme.
Extensive option appraisals and design development to identify most efficient and effective designs.
Complex structural solutions required for aesthetic features.
Sustainability and whole life costing considerations.
BIM Level 2.
Need for visible entrances, good transport links, clear signage, and light building providing an effective therapeutic facility.
