Fiona Stanley Hospital
Fiona Stanley is a leading Australian epidemiologist noted for her public health work and research into child and maternal health and birth disorders. The two billion dollar namesake healthcare facility was the largest health infrastructure project in Western Australia at the time of development in 2014 and encapsulates ambitious design, green vistas and a true sense of well-being and healing.
BG&E Façade Consultants played a significant role in the design and construction of the 232,000 square metre cohesive healthcare precinct
