The new Royal Children’s Hospital:
Unveiling a nature-inspired design
Melbourne’s new $1.0b Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH), recently unveiled by Queen Elizabeth II, is set to begin a revolution in healthcare architecture.
Designed by joint venture Billard Leece Partnership and Bates Smart Architects (BLBS), with US based HKS as international advisors, the construction of the new hospital has been managed by the Children’s Health Partnership with Lend Lease, based on ‘state of the art’ ideas developed by the RCH and the Department of Health around a family-centred care model that puts children and their parents at the centre of the new facility.
