New Dunedin Hospital - Whakatuputupu - Outpatient building construction
The construction of the new Dunedin Hospital Outpatient building is underway, with the main works of the first stage expected to be completed for its opening in 2026. Health New Zealand Te Whatu Ora is investing an estimated $1.59 billion in its infrastructure project, which will be executed in two stages: the first stage being the Outpatient building and the second an Inpatient building.
Located in Dunedin, New Zealand, the new hospital will be a state-of-the-art, fit-for-purpose facility designed to benefit generations of people. It represents the largest health infrastructure investment in New Zealand’s history.
Designed by Warren and Mahoney Architects, and built by Southbase Construction, the new Outpatient building encompasses 10,000m2 of clinical space, a 5-star Greenstar Rating, and public areas with food and retail. The goal is to create an open, accessible and inclusive environment.
SRG Global Facades, the appointed façade contractor, is responsible for the façade’s technical design and installation. The façade system is composed of unitised modules, engineered to comply with New Zealand’s seismic requirements. Frontek panels have been adapted and deemed satisfactory for such configuration.
The façade features a vertical installation pattern with distinctive diagonal cuts, utilising a customised solution with Frontek XXL porcelain panels for the external cladding. A combination of gloss, volume and colourful finishes bring the façade’s design to life.
