Innovative Design for Comfort and Sustainability
The final phase of the construction involves comprehensive MEP systems and acoustic design to ensure optimal functionality and comfort. Spanning two basement levels and five above-ground floors, the new facility will host technological stations, emergency departments, outpatient services, wards, high-care areas, operating theatres and offices. Equipped with ISO 5 and ISO 7 operating theatres and specialised rooms for interventional procedures, the extension adheres to stringent hygiene and efficiency standards while integrating accessory and connective spaces for seamless operation.
