The $870 million Prince of Wales Hospital Acute Services Building (PoWH ASB) saw the delivery of a 13-storey health, academic, and research building connected to the existing Prince of Wales Hospital. The project saw significant engineering achievements including the staged lowering of Hospital Road. The project was successfully delivered after overcoming challenges posed by its confined site and adjacency to critical operational healthcare services.
The Judging Panel recognised the project for the successful delivery of a complex facility on an operating brownfield site, and the responsiveness of Lendlease to evolving health priorities, including the addition of five negative airflow rooms following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The project’s success in overcoming challenges associated with delivering the facility during and in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with innovative solutions like off-site construction of link bridges and staged road lowering contributed to the project’s nomination.
