project spire - palmerston north hospital

Project SPIRE (Surgical, Procedural, Interventional Recovery expansion) refurbishment project at Palmerston North Hospital has significantly boosted the hospital’s capacity for operations and procedures, bringing long-lasting healthcare benefits to the region. The hospital continued its day-to-day operations throughout the staged fitout delivery and maintained operational activities of adjacent services, meaning thorough planning and construction sequencing was critical.  

Stage 1 was completed in early 2023 and saw the expansion of the Day of Surgery (DOSA) area and post-surgery recovery area, as well as an increase of the procedure rooms in the Gastroenterology Department from two to four. Stage 2 was completed in November 2023 and included the addition of two theatres and a cardiac catheterisation lab added to the existing theatre suite.  

The Building Intelligence Group worked alongside our project partners Maycroft Construction, CCM Architects, Jacksons Engineering Advisers Ltd, and Rider Levett Bucknall. The project team worked seamlessly to overcome obstacles, ensuring the uninterrupted delivery of high-quality care at the heart of the hospital.
