BUILDING A BETTER HOSPITAL

Modern hospitals treat thousands of people in state-of-the-art environments. However, even among hospitals, there are some that are leagues apart from the rest, and the New Royal Adelaide Hospital (NRAH) is clearly one of them. During construction, it was the most expensive building in Australia and the third most expensive in the world. Eleven stories high and spread across ten hectares, hosting 800 beds and 6,000 staff, the NRAH sees an estimated 85,000 inpatients and 400,000 outpatients every year. Its innovative design uses cutting-edge technology to set new standards in conservation and environmental management.

Description

Eleven stories high and spread across ten hectares, NRAH hosts 800 beds and 6,000 staff and the hospital sees an estimated 85,000 inpatients and 400,000 outpatients every year. Its innovative design uses cutting-edge technology to set new standards in conservation and environmental management. Through careful co-ordination and planning, KONE successfully installed an extensive list of solutions that helped the hospital meet its ambitious goal of achieving smoot h people flow. This included no less than 41 elevators, including helipad lifts and a network of Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs). The AGVs reliably cover up to 700km a day delivering up to 500 kilograms of supplies, food and equipment to different people across multiple stories.
