Construction on track at the Victorian Heart Hospital - video

Construction of the Victorian Heart Hospital – Australia’s first specialist cardiac hospital – is on track for completion in late 2022.

The main façade and all major structural works are now completed, with work on the internal fit-out continuing.

The striking façade, using weathered steel solar screens, is inspired by an electrocardiogram (ECG). It is designed to optimise the amount of daylight in the hospital – leading to reduced environmental impacts and improved patient outcomes.

Located on the Monash University Clayton campus, the Victorian Heart Hospital will integrate clinical cardiology services, research, and education to create a centre of excellence.

The project is being delivered in partnership with Monash Health and Monash University.
