Following the successful delivery of the Monash Medical Centre Tower Expansion Early Works, Kane Constructions has been appointed by the Victorian Health Building Authority to construct the new seven-storey medical tower, to be built above the recently expanded emergency department.
The new tower will feature operating theatres with pre-operative and post-operative recovery beds, a new intensive care unit and a new Central Sterile Services Department to improve efficiencies around medical equipment processing and delivery, meaning more people will get the surgery they need sooner.
The project will also deliver expanded maternity services, with new and upgraded birthing suites and maternity beds.
Once complete, the tower will include:
- Expanded maternity services – supporting around 2,400 births annually
- Operating theatres – providing capacity for 7,500 more surgeries each year
- A new intensive care unit with modern technology to support the hospital’s sickest patients
- A new medical equipment Central Sterile Services Department – helping deliver more surgeries, sooner.
The project will be delivered in line with Kane’s commitment to sustainable, inclusive and socially responsible construction, supporting positive outcomes for the community and industry.
Construction is expected to be completed in 2029.
