A huge congratulations to this year’s Property Council New Zealand Rider Levett Bucknall Property Industry Award winners – especially The Mark Dunajtschik and Dorothy Spotswood Building, Te Wao Nui, Wellington Children’s Hospital, which took out Excellence and Best in Category in the Warren & Mahoney Civic, Health and Arts Award and the Rider Levett Bucknall Supreme Award!
Te Wao Nui is the new Child Health Service for the Wellington region, located in the new Mark Dunajtschik and Dorothy Spotswood Building.
Planned around the special needs of children and their families, the development took home the Rider Levett Bucknall Supreme Award on Friday.
The name reflects the ecosystem of integrated health services designed for tamariki, mokopuna and whānau of Central New Zealand which brings teams of doctors, nurses and allied health professionals together under one roof to care for those needing specialist medical and surgical care.
In 2017, Property Developer and Philanthropist Sir Mark Dunajtschik and Dorothy Spotswood made the extraordinarily generous commitment to donate over $50 million to fund the project.
A team of dedicated consultants and building contractors completed the full build project in less than five years, making it the fastest-completed healthcare project of its size in New Zealand.
The 7,500 square meter, three story, stand-alone building was completed at significantly less cost to similar public funded projects.
The hospital has 50 inpatient beds and a further 101 outpatient beds and provides for all of the Wellington region’s children’s healthcare services under one roof for the first time.
