‘‘CPB demonstrated a depth of experience delivering complex, large-scale projects and numerous hospital developments, including the recently completed Waipapa hospital project in Christchurch,’’ Ms Mitchell said. The ministry said CPB’s past experience building hospitals in New Zealand and Australia would be invaluable. The ministry was not taking the same approach to the smaller outpatient building, which will be built on the former Wilson car parking site. ‘‘The outpatient building is small and less complex, with a construction period of three years,’’ Ms Mitchell said. ‘‘The building has been built before in New Zealand and it follows, to a large extent, the design of the Waipapa outpatient building in Christchurch.’’That building is planned to open in 2025.mike.houlahan@odt.co.nz
