Cooma Clinical Training Facility
CONTRACT VALUE: $2.3M
The University of Canberra and the Australian Nation University partook in a joint venture project to provide a new Clinical Training Facility for nurses in training within rural areas. The location of the project was within the Cooma Hospital Campus located off number 2 Bent Street next to the existing ambulance station off Bombala Street.
IQON Pty Ltd was engaged by the University of Canberra to manage the complete construction of the new facility under a fully documented design.
An approved development was in place prior to IQON's engagement. IQON managed the construction of the new 300m² class 9b building under a building approval and successfully delivered the project 9 months from the period of July 2019 to March 2020.
The main challenge for the construction of the building was the coordination of construction detailing using a combination of residential standard practices while ensuring compliance with a commercial building aspects for a class 9b classification.
The design of the building was a mixture of residential structural design principals for timber frame and structure with commercial aspects concerning compliance with disabled access, acoustic treatment, and section J compliance.
The Project was completed on time, within budget and to the Clients Expectations.
