Designs unveiled for the new Melton Hospital
The Victorian Health and Building Authority (VHBA) has unveiled designs for the new Melton Hospital.
The designs reveal key spaces in the new hospital, including the main entrance, façade, main foyer, a patient room and waiting areas.
The design draws inspiration from the local landscape and ecosystems, to provide patients, staff and visitors with strong connections to nature and Country. Like the local natural ecosystems, the design aims to be interconnected, life-sustaining and healing at all scales.
More than 1000 ideas and priorities from locals helped shape the designs — with the new hospital to include green spaces, artwork, intuitive and simple wayfinding, natural light, access to the outdoors, and the incorporation of local Indigenous culture and storytelling.
Take a look at the design in the video below.
