Overview
The fight to control Coronavirus upped a notch in 2020 with the refurbishment and instillation 84 extra beds in the former Peter Mac Victorian Cancer Centre Hospital. Ready to be used a part of our Coronavirus defence if needed, the project required a speedy and precise turnaround under extreme deadlines. We worked 7 days a week day and night shifts to ensure all hospital rooms had the necessary facilities to fight the pandemic.
