Project Description
The new Maitland Hospital sits at the crest of a hill with views across the floodplains of the Hunter River. Its red screen and facade are a homage to the former brick quarry that was on the site before.
Considered a model for regional hospitals, it instills a positive experience by maximising comfort for patients and staff.
Covering 50,000 square metres and spanning seven floors, it boasts state-of-the-art clinical and emergency services for the 339-bed including emergency, paediatric, maternity, chemotherapy, and contemporary operating suites.
The project also delivered environmental benefits including photovoltaic solar panels and a waste reduction and recycling scheme that generated only 3.6kg of waste per square metre, and enabled over 90% of that waste to be recycled.
Appointed plumbing contractor Planet Plumbing closely collaborated with Galvin Engineering to assist in creating safe, home-like environments for best healing outcomes. With many years experience in creating such environments we supplied anti-ligature sanitaryware and tapware with residential-style aesthetics from our Wallgate and GalvinCare ranges.
