Two-storey extension and alterations in a live hospital.
We built a two-storey extension to the Oropi Centre endoscopy and day-stay unit at Tauranga’s Grace Hospital. Along with a new endoscopy theatre on the ground floor, we altered two existing operating theatres and converted a storeroom into an admissions room with an ensuite bathroom. On the first floor, we reconfigured and extended existing consulting rooms and built additional staff amenities spaces and offices.
The project involved a range of healthcare services, including medical gases, specialist air conditioning and structured cabling systems. The ceiling voids available for these services were exceptionally tight, requiring detailed coordination to ensure that everything fitted.
Coupled with the complexities of tying the new structure and services into the existing building, the hospital unit remained operational throughout the project. We staged the work carefully and coordinated closely with the Grace Hospital staff to minimise disruption in the busy live environment.
