Engineering Children's Hospitals

Designed for their future

Children’s hospitals are among the most complex of all healthcare buildings. Offering many medical specialties in one place and caring for patients from the very youngest to those approaching adulthood, they present many design challenges. These range from tailoring every aspect of the fit-out to small people who love to explore, to creating safe, comfortable and efficient working environments for caregivers, to stacking and grouping functions so that large, diverse facilities can operate with maximum efficiency.

We are passionate about supporting our clients to provide the very best care, and we’re proud to have worked on some very special buildings dedicated to children, as well as some of the most efficient and sustainable facilities in the world.

Being ready for the next generation in paediatric care means addressing two key topics: resiliency and flexibility. It means ensuring that the built environment and supporting infrastructure is sustainably equipped to deliver new models of care, new treatments and technologies, and also engaging with caregivers, patients and their families to provide a genuinely holistic experience.
