Designs unveiled for your new Melton Hospital
Designs for the new Melton Hospital have been unveiled as critical site preparation works get underway on the site.
The designs reveal key spaces in the new hospital including the main entrance, façade, main foyer, a patient room and waiting areas.
The hospital has been designed as a place for all, that promotes healing, learning and living. The design draws inspiration from the local landscape and ecosystems, to provide patients, staff and visitors with strong connections to nature and Country.
