make the same mistake. Featuring some of Australia’s largest infrastructure projects, learn:

2:20 PM New Build: New Christchurch Hospital Build: Resilient Buildings in a Seismically Active City
It’s recognised that Canterbury’s existing acute hospital facilities will not meet demand beyond 2018. To address this, a new acute services building is
being built as part of the Christchurch Health Precinct to meet future capacity and be able to keep operating after a projected magnitude 7-8 earthquake. Learn about:
- Future proofing to meet projected capacity and maintain patient flow for the acutely unwell
- How the Canterbury Health system is designed to keep people out of hospital
- Key design principles for resilient builds, including base isolation, protection of services and a revolutionary new ward layout
- Learnings that came from mocking up the new ward layout an a Design Lab – the role patients and clinicians played in design
