@queenslandfertilitygroup's (QFG) new IVF laboratory sets a new benchmark in laboratory excellence, patient treatment and staff well being. For @queenslandfertilitygroup, it was essential that their new laboratory provided their patients with world class fertility treatment. @8iarchitects was engaged by @queenslandfertilitygroup to design new embryology and andrology laboratories incorporating Virtus Health's One Lab design principles. The One Lab design principles combine internationally published outcomes in IVF Laboratory design, Virtus Health's research and design expertise from @8iarchitects. In creating a world class healthcare facility, the design has carefully considered the patient’s journey and is supportive of the staff’s health and well-being. @8iarchitects has passionately remained at the forefront of the latest international research on IVF facilities and technologies since delivering our first IVF Laboratory in 2011. @8iarchitects are very pleased to deliver @queenslandfertilitygroup's flagship IVF laboratory. It marks a welcome design-first for fertility laboratories in Queensland. Thanks to the @8iarchitects team for their dedication to this project. @mimipfeffer, @cmmchr, Sharon Kai, @mace2488, Jeremy Haldane, Hieu Nguyen, @charmaine_kai_ @jha_services @sjaconstructionservices @shape_aus @brettboardmanphotography #ivf #laboratory #design #architecture #healthcare #healthcaredesign #architect #8iFeatured

@8iarchitects are pleased to have delivered Spring Hill Specialist Day Hospital for Virtus Health in Brisbane. @8iarchitects was engaged by Spring Hill Specialist Day Hospital to design the new 3 Theatre Day Hospital with a Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD) incorporating best practice patient centred design and clinical workflow. The facility is owned by Virtus Health – a global leader of assisted reproductive services, day surgeries and reproductive genetics. As a Day Hospital that is linked to @queenslandfertilitygroup, Spring Hill Specialist Day Hospital provides services to fertility, IVF, gynaecological patients as well as other procedures such as dental and endoscopy. This project was specifically designed to incorporate the views of Brisbane’s CBD, Spring Hill and Victoria Park. Patient experience was critical to the design by incorporating natural light and views wherever possible. This important point of difference has been received positively by patients and staff. The patient journey was specifically designed to ensure movement within the Day Hospital is a single circular flow that starts and ends within the waiting room. The simple workflow design is in contrast to many hospitals, where complex workflows create wayfinding confusion for staff and patients. Thanks to the 8i Architects team for their dedication to this project. @mimipfeffer, @cmmchr, Sharon Kai, @mace2488, Jeremy Haldane, Hieu Nguyen, @charmaine_kai_ @shape_aus @sjaconstructionservices @jha_services @brettboardmanphotography #dayhospital #healthcare #design #architecture #8iFeatured
