A full range of clinical services, excluding dietary, is incorporated in the design. The design features long, curving ward floors and a seven-storey glass roof courtyard.  Image Courtesy © Stephenson & Turner The hospital’s plan maximises natural light and ventilation and achieves separation between visitors and patient/staff circulation. Bedrooms were designed to allow parents to stay overnight. There are also parent lounges, and a whanau unit allows larger family groups to stay. Ward layouts provide efficient, safe nursing with reduced walking distances. Single rooms are situated close to the central nursing station and multi-bed rooms towards the end of the wards.
