The Northside Clinic in St Leonards is a private mental health facility owned by Ramsay Health Care. This state-of-the-art facility was designed and built in line with the latest thinking in hospital design, program delivery, therapy and nutrition. The facility is 13,942m2 over10 levels.  The functional facility includes the latest technology and high-end finishes and fresh interiors, provide a welcoming and non-clinical feel for patients and staff. The hospital has 112 beds (all single private rooms), plus 24 specialist consulting rooms, pathology suite, electroconvulsive therapy and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation procedure rooms, indoor and outdoor dining areas, café, private parkland and outdoor terrace as well as massage rooms, large gymnasium and two levels of parking with 139 spaces.  The external façade comprised Vitracore G2 composite cladding and CSR Cemintel CFC cladding.  The works included the demolition of an existing car dealership and storm water diversion. Ground contamination was discovered, resulting in the building being raised in order to leave the existing ground undisturbed. Extensive prototypes were established before fitout works commenced to ensure details were resolved and the client sign-off was achieved. Other initiatives included the use of Dincel permanent formwork for a number of walls above L5.  A tower crane was used for major lifting, together with a single man and material hoist.  The quality of the finishes was very high and the overall project was of a high standard in both specified finishes and level of execution.
