J W Wilson Award for Building of the Year
Mackay Base Hospital Redevelopment (West Mackay) – Woods Bagot in collaboration with Billard Leece Partnership
Jury citation: The Mackay Base Hospital is the result of a considered process of engagement. Complex decanting issues are influential in the result which sees the creation of a central public spine, connecting the building to landscape and reducing signage. This project also challenges the typology of hospital administration space.
