Easier to get to and around
|
With the following features, getting to and finding your way around the new RCH will be much easier:
|
- The new RCH will include over 2,000 underground car park spaces - that's almost twice the existing number.
- All access to the new hospital will be from Flemington Road. There will be separate entrances for visitors, ambulances and goods traffic.
- A patient drop-off and pick-up zone will be located at the front door.
- A tram superstop will be built, making it easier for families with prams or wheelchairs.
- There will be more than 500 bike spaces with shower and change facilities located nearby.
- Just as every Victorian town has a main street, so to will the new RCH. 'The street' will be the main public thoroughfare from the Flemington Road entry through to Royal Park.
- Outpatient services will be located off the 'The Street'. 'The Street' will link into the inpatient building.
- Colour and floor patterns will be used to help people of all cultures and backgrounds find their way.
- A real 2-storey coral reef aquarium will bring nature into the heart of 'The Street', and also mark the entry to emergency.
