Environmental features in the facility include
a 286 panel solar hot water system, a
displacement air-conditioning system that
allows individual temperature control in
patients’ rooms, and specified low-volatile
organic compound (VOC) paints, adhesives
and floor coverings for the entire project.
Together with access to external views and a
design which provides good levels of natural
light, the extension offers a light-filled, airy
and stress-reducing hospital environment for
patients and staff alike.
