ABOUT THE PROJECT |
| |
| |
The new $950 million Royal North Shore Hospital and Community Health Services (RNS) Redevelopment Project will consolidate 53 outdated buildings on the RNS campus into two impressive purpose-built facilities that can expand to meet future healthcare needs. |
| |
The redevelopment will ensure that the Hospital's long tradition of care continues into the next generation and beyond with contemporary new facilities to support the delivery of best practice healthcare. |
| |
The redevelopment will deliver a new hospital building on the eastern side of Reserve Road with: |
| |
- Inpatient beds for medical and surgical patients
|
- New acute mental health beds
|
- Additional chemotherapy and renal dialysis chairs
|
- Outpatient (ambulatory care) areas
|
- A new Comprehensive Cancer Care Centre
|
- Enhanced diagnostic services and new clinical and information technology
|
- A total of 29 procedure and operating rooms.
|
| |
The new Main Hospital Building will be relatively low rise, with innovative colour-coded internal spaces to help people navigate the hospital environment. |
| |

| |
The design maximises local views, light and space to create a welcoming, healing environment, while the compact footprint ensures that every department is within two minutes walk of the main lifts. |
| |
It will include new commercial and retail areas for the convenience of staff, patients and visitors. |
| |
A new Community Health Building, located on Herbert Street, will provide the second major facility on site. It will have a welcoming street frontage and a range of facilities to support local community health services. |
| |
The Community Health Building will open from 2011, and the new Main Hospital Building from 2012. |
| |
The new Kolling Building, for medical research and clinical education, was completed in 2008. |
| |
The new Main Hospital Building will completely replace the current `Brown Building', which will be demolished at a later stage for further redevelopment. |
| |
Long-term, there are also plans to revitalize the lower part of the site to create a vibrant new heritage precinct with better links to the nearby business district and railway station. The historic Vanderfield Building would be retained in this area. |
| |
| |
"BUSINESS AS USUAL" DURING CONSTRUCTION |
During construction, it will be business as usual at RNS. Although there may be some inconvenience from time to time, there is a plan in place to deliver the new facilities with as little disruption to services as possible. For your safety, please observe the safety signage on site, take care when walking and driving around the campus, and follow any instructions from site staff. We appreciate your patience while we complete these vital projects. |
| |
WE WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED |
We will keep you up-to-date about the project, and advise you promptly if we expect any impact from the construction program. Planning and building new health care takes time - we appreciate your patience while we complete these vital projects. |
