HASSELL HOSPITAL IN PILBARA OPENS
The $207 million Karratha Health Campus in the Pilbara region of Western Australian is now fully operational, with the last of its health services opening in September 2018. Designed by Hassell, the 13,000-square-metre hospital represents the biggest health project in regional Western Australia’s history. The design of the campus was inspired by the local flora, with accents of green, silver, blue and gold referencing the colours of native wattle and a native cassia shrub. WA regional development minister Alannah MacTiernan said the new hospital was “a major milestone in Karratha’s transformation from a mining town into a modern regional city that its residents see as their permanent home.”
