Gold Coast University Hospital, Queensland, Australia

The Gold Coast University Hospital is an exciting new $1.55 billion tertiary Greenfield hospital. It has been awarded to Silver Thomas Hanley, PDT and Hassell Architects as a consortium of architectural firms known as the GCUH Partnership.

The new hospital will have 750 beds, 300 more than the existing hospital. It will include a range of expanded services including cancer, cardiac, neurosciences, trauma and neo-natal intensive care.

The Premier Ms Bligh stated at the official unveiling of plans on 22 August 2008, that
"This is about delivering to the people of the Gold Coast a world-class health facility that will offer the high standard of services they deserve."

"As a training hospital, the GCUH will also enhance the medical education and training offered by facilities like Griffith and Bond Universities, the new Queensland Academy for Health Sciences and Tafe Queensland - making it a breeding ground for Queensland's doctors and nurses of tomorrow," she said.
