Overview
Greenview delivered building services engineering for a new day surgery and medical centre for Wollongong Eye Specialists, located at 2 Victoria Street, Wollongong. The project was developed in partnership with AVA Architects and VSDS, and involved the design of a specialist ophthalmic healthcare facility incorporating both day surgery and consulting functions.
Day surgery facilities require a higher level of building services engineering than general medical consulting environments. They must meet the infection control, environmental and safety standards applicable to surgical settings under the National Construction Code.
The challenge
Medical day surgery facilities require building services that support clinical operations at a standard well above general commercial construction. Mechanical HVAC systems must deliver the temperature control, air quality and pressurisation conditions required for surgical environments. Electrical systems need to include medical-grade power provisions and appropriate backup arrangements. Hydraulic services must accommodate both the clinical and operational needs of a facility serving patients undergoing procedures.
Greenview's approach
Greenview's building services scope was developed in close coordination with AVA Architects and the specialist medical fitout consultant VSDS, ensuring the engineering reflected the specific clinical requirements of an ophthalmic day surgery centre. All disciplines were documented within Greenview's coordinated REVIT environment, giving the project team a single resolved package of building services documentation that was ready for construction.
