Morton+Co is working collaboratively with Lyons Architecture to deliver the Ballarat Base Hospital Redevelopment projects. As part of this redevelopment, Morton+Co recently completed the Emergency Department Clinical Decisions Unit within the live hospital environment, including both demolition and new internal fitout with specialist equipment.

The design of the emergency department (ED) was primarily guided by the ethos of functionality and rapid responsiveness. This space was designed to accommodate a high volume of patients with varying degrees of medical issues, efficiently and without delay.

The layout is strategically planned to optimise workflows, safety and accessibility, while minimising travel distances between critical areas. The design incorporated resilient materials and surfaces that are easy to clean and maintain.
