Billard Leece Partnership has been appointed as the architect for the $384.2 million redevelopment of Warrnambool Base Hospital in rural Victoria, the Victorian Health Building Authority has announced.
The firm will lead design work for the redevelopment alongside building services engineering consultants AECOM Australia.
The development will include a new four-level clinical tower accommodating a bigger emergency department, more operating theatres, an additional 22 inpatient beds, dedicated areas for pathology services, medical imaging and dialysis and a 120-space basement carpark for patients and visitors.
The redevelopment also includes the design and construction of a new off-site Regional Logistics Distribution Centre supporting a commercial laundry and linen service and healthcare supplies warehouse.
Design work is underway and a builder for the Regional Logistics Distribution Centre will be selected mid-2022. The redevelopment is scheduled for completion by 2026.
