Chermside, QLD Prince Charles Hospital
ADCO was engaged by Queensland Health to construct the Adolescent Extended Treatment Facility (AETF) at Prince Charles Hospital. Renamed ‘Jacaranda Place’ by QLD Premier Anastasia Palecek, the facility offers a 12-bed residential unit, a 20-place day program. Features have been meticulously configured and incorporated into the modern design to deliver the best possible healing environment for Jacaranda Place’s residents.
The extension to The Prince Charles Hospital was made possible due to Queensland Health’s strategy that identified the need for a new treatment and rehabilitation centre for young people living with severe mental health issues.
The centre offers 12 bedrooms with built-in joinery and ensuites, 9 internal courtyards, health facilities, classrooms and training spaces. The entire facility provides ample light and well-planted outdoor areas in each courtyard.
