Newcastle Private Hospital
Re-adapting to meet new specialty requirements
ARCH has been exclusively involved with the Newcastle Private Hospital since early 1990, delivering several complex projects and an ongoing program of upgrade works. The largest regional private hospital in New South Wales, major projects include the adaptive reuse of the former NIB Medical Centre, the Croudace Building. This was originally a day medical and surgical centre which was converted specifically for obstetrics and gynecology. The Croudace building now provides three operating theatres, 36 inpatient beds, education rooms, medical suites and birthing suites. The 2001 Kingston building expansion created a new 120 bed acute hospital with five theatres, catheter laboratory, medical imaging, pathology, primary care, physio and hydrotherapy.
Since 2005 we have undertaken a number of projects on the campus that improved and modernised the facilities. These projects include additional birthing suites, five additional inpatient rooms, day physiotherapy facility, day oncology treatment suite and the conversion of the catheter laboratory into a hybrid theatre. In 2014 we completed a specialist cardiac theatre, day surgery, new ICU beds and inpatient rooms upgrades.
