Peninsula University Hospital opens
The people-centric approach to the redevelopment provides a connected health campus that embodies the spirit of Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula communities as a welcoming, safe place for patients and health employees.
The architecture of the new 12-storey tower and podium form part of a composition of elements that respond to the adjacent parklands and local coastal context of the peninsula with its massing, rusticated façade, palette of natural materials and landscaped interventions. A new main entrance is crowned by a generous sculptural “verandah” that evokes the coastal setting and offers a relaxed and welcoming space on entry to the hospital.
The revitalised campus links extensive green spaces, defines the new entrance and integrates the new tower with the existing hospital via “Hospital Way” with key separation of public and clinical flows, enabling a highly functional and dignified patient and staff experience.
