Auckland City Hospital is New Zealand’s largest public hospital and largest clinical research facility. Patience care is a top priority for the hospital, as they continuously strive to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their health services.
The hospital was undertaking an upgrade of its facilities and was looking for a high-quality wall cladding solution that was long-lasting and easy to clean but also aesthetically pleasing. They selected Altro Whiterock White™ FR as it is an ideal wall cladding for clinical areas due to its durability and easy maintenance, as well as its design appeal.
“We have used Whiterock in several areas at Auckland Hospital and have been impressed with its performance. When we were selecting products for our new Endoscopy Suite, our Architects (Klein Architects), were keen to specify Whiterock and we were keen to use it again. The new suite looks fantastic and Whiterock plays a big part in this. The thermoformed corners make a big visual impact as they allow the Whiterock to fit seamlessly around corners and structural columns. We plan to use Whiterock in future works at Auckland Hospital.” - Kathy Peacock, Project Manager, Facilities Management, Auckland District Health
