Manningham Private Hospital

Swanbury Penglase were engaged in April 2020 by Nexus Hospitals to undertake renovations and expansion of their existing Manningham Private Hospital located in the Manningham Medical Centre in Templestowe Lower, Victoria.

The Hospital specialises in ophthalmic surgery and associated services including laser surgery. The Hospital also undertakes a range of specialty surgery including endoscopy procedures within the three existing operating theatres.

An increased demand in endoscopy procedures has led to the need for a new specialised Endoscopy Suite which will in turn free up space within the existing Operating Theatres providing additional Ophthalmic surgical capacity.

In addition to creating a new Endoscopy Suite including two new Endoscopy Procedure Rooms with integrated Scope Reprocessing facility and dedicated recovery facilities, the project includes additional major works including a new Hospital entry and reception area, relocated Laser Suite and new staff facilities including staff room and change facilities. A new CSSD facility to increase capacity and ensure compliance with new infection control standards is also included.

Construction works shall be undertaken in 4 stages to ensure continuous uninterrupted operation of the existing hospital throughout the construction program.

The project is scheduled to be completed in January 2022.
