Healthcare Design - April 2015 - 28
Rebirth of a community
Lady Cilento also has ties to its neighborhood that go well beyond aesthetics. A
major part of the seven-year project involved
creating not just a new hospital but a new

children's health precinct comprising the hospital, a
new research building, and family accommodations.
A dedicated nine-level Centre for Children's Health
Research will wrap up construction in 2015 and
house more than 450 staff members. The facility
will place children's health research under one roof
and be home to wet and dry laboratories, pathology
services, and retail space.
To facilitate these efforts, the project not only
involved hospital planning and construction, but
altering roads and conducting land exchanges with
local entities, including nearby schools. "It was
taking a lot of problems and turning them into solutions that were good for everybody," Wolfe says.
For example, the project team needed to work with

room in the emergency
department, which serves
approximately 70,000
visitors a year, features
digital entertainment,
inserts to display art, and
a children's play area.

of inpatient rooms at Lady

feature a wall of glazing
that brings light into
the room and allows for
staff supervision. Usercontrolled venetian blinds
provide privacy. Opposite:

numbers and other
wayfinding elements.

a senior associate at Conrad Gargett. "The remaining
77 percent is public open space or roof gardens."
Delivering a lush, natural landscape on the urban
campus was a goal from the beginning, and NieberlerWalker attributes the team's success to using evidencebased design to support the idea that nature has a
positive effect on patient outcomes and integrating
landscape elements into the building design. "It makes
the landscape elements an integral part of the building
and not a mere add-on," she says.
The Lady Cilento team turned to the site's contextual
landscape to inspire some design elements, as well.
The campus is adjacent to the 42-acre South Bank
Parklands on the banks of the Brisbane River, where
an arbor stretching more than a half-mile is covered in
purple and green bougainvillea. After testing
several color palettes for the exterior, the
design team proposed using a digitized pattern of the vibrant floral colorways on the sun
protection blades. "It's not a direct interpretation, but it's in the same ratio as those
colors that appear in the bougainvillea on the
arbor," Wolfe says. "We thought that it was
a lovely connection and helped the hospital
relate to them in quite a strong way."
