Location
The Leighs Team worked closely with consultants and practitioners to ensure the end result was fit-for-purpose. The flow around the laboratory is split into staff, specimens and consumables; and four entrances enable direct access to each area for efficient movement around the lab. The laboratory is extensively serviced with uninterrupted power supply, specialist laboratory gases, a dedicated water purification system, smart lighting and a substantial HVAC system.
This was a logistically challenging project, with the Leighs team working in a live hospital, with 14 operating theatres directly above, and a 24-hour neonatal intensive care unit directly adjacent to the site.
This project won Silver in the Health Category at the 2017 NZ Commercial Project Awards.
