St John of God Public and Private Hospital Midland is the first new hospital in the area for more than 50 years, and will replace the Swan District Hospital when it opens on November 24, 2015.
With Perth’s Hassell Studio at the helm as architects and Deep Green Landscaping the contractors for the site, Street Furniture Australia was approached to provide cost effective quality furnishings.
Mall seats, Slim bollards in powder coated bright silver, Slim Hoop bicycle stands, Frame bin enclosures and a drinking fountain were chosen and installed.
Glen Power, CEO, says the hospital will be future-proofed to cater for a population that could reach 300,000, and will have one of the largest emergency departments in the state.
St George Hospital began its humble operation in 1894. With over 100 years of service, St George has developed into one of the most respected hospitals in the Sydney region. Street Furniture Australia was commissioned to install a range of free-standing Mall seats, settings and planters in the hospital gardens, where staff, patients and visitors can take a break.
Street Furniture Australia supplied Classic Galleria Settings in anodised aluminium, Classic Galleria Seats and square Cafe Tables for the forecourt of Ryde Hospital and the Graythwaite Rehabilitation Centre. The selection of materials requires very little maintenance, and will endure in the public domain for many years to come.
DDA-compliant custom seats for the hospital are designed by Oculus. Standard Street Furniture Australia armrests are integrated in the furniture to assist people with ingress and egress. The redevelopment of RNSH healthcare facilities were financed, designed and constructed by Infrashore. The project includes significant improvements to landscaping and urban design.
