Auckland City Hospital
Flexible Clinical Area
Client: Health NZ | Te Toka Tumai Auckland
Location: Auckland City Hospital
Description:
This project converted a shell space within the original hospital block into a standalone clinical space, featuring nine new consult rooms equipped with medical oxygen and vacuum systems. The suite of support spaces includes a staff base, waiting room, WCs, storage, dirty utility, and clean utility.
Tenex Construction was involved from the design concept stage, conducting site investigations to determine the optimal locations for wet service rooms and identifying all stakeholders to be engaged as part of our construction disruption management plan.

DCCM ICU Beds 23 - 26
Client: Health NZ | Te Toka Tumai Auckland
Location: Auckland City Hospital
Description:
We had the privilege of working with the Department of Critical Care Medicine at Auckland City Hospital to provide four new ICU beds. In three months, we transformed an existing storeroom into four new ICU bed spaces and upgraded the medical gas and electrical infrastructure to enable further future development. In cooperation with the department, we navigated the complexities of building adjacent to a live clinical area and managed the critical systems shutdown necessary for integrating the new infrastructure.
Auckland City Hospital
Airborne Infection Isolation Rooms Project
Client: Health NZ | Te Toka Tumai Auckland
Location: Auckland City Hospital
Description:
Series of new negative pressure isolation rooms for treating patients with airborne infections (i.e. COVID-19).
Working across multiple departments within the main hospital building, we delivered four new Isolation ICU rooms, four Resus Isolation Rooms, and two Cardiac Care Isolation rooms, each complete with ante rooms and HEPA-filtered negative pressure systems. By reviewing the design and construction methodology, we identified all design and access issues before any clinical spaces were displaced. This allowed us to complete projects ahead of schedule with no surprises during construction, minimizing the time healthcare spaces were unavailable.

Emergency Department Extension
Client: Health NZ | Te Toka Tumai Auckland
Location: Auckland City Hospital
Description:
Working with users and designers from the concept stage, we developed a staging plan to maintain hospital capacity throughout the build and engaged with all affected departments as part of our no-surprises approach to disruption management. This project will expand the department’s footprint by 350m2 and streamline their workflow paths.

Maternity Birthing Unit Isolation Rooms
Client: Health NZ | Te Toka Tumai Auckland
Location: Auckland City Hospital
Description:
New negative pressure isolation rooms have been established within the Birthing Suite to manage airborne infections such as COVID-19. Three existing rooms and adjacent corridors were converted into Negative Pressure Isolation Rooms, complete with automatic doors and blinds. Concurrently, the rooms underwent refurbishment with new fixtures, joinery, and concealed medical services panels. Having established a strong rapport with the client, we proceeded to replace all corridor carpets with new vinyl and upgraded the original lighting to modern LED units.
