Brisbane’s Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Hospital (QEII) plays a vital role in the state’s Metro South region — but ageing infrastructure and growing population pressure has pushed the hospital beyond its capacity.
To address this, the Queensland Government launched a $621 million expansion as part of its $10 billion hospital investment program. The brief: increase clinical capacity, reduce wait times, and future-proof critical infrastructure — all while maintaining hospital operations during delivery.
Lucid was engaged by the managing contractor, Built, to lead building services engineering for Stage 1 — the largest healthcare project we’ve delivered to 100% Design Documentation.
We collaborated closely with Built, GHDD, BGE, E-Lab to create resilient, integrated services that would support both immediate clinical needs and future operational demands, whilst addressing existing infrastructure shortfalls. Our approach prioritised staged infrastructure upgrades to ensure seamless operation throughout construction, as well as robust, energy-efficient systems to reduce long-term operating cost.
Lucid provided multi-disciplinary engineering design across:
This project isn’t just about more beds — it’s about better access, faster care, and improved outcomes for communities across South East Queensland.
By delivering the state’s largest Lucid-designed healthcare project to 100% documentation, we’ve helped create the foundations for better clinical care and sustainable growth. And for our team, this project has offered an opportunity to stretch, learn, and lead — aligning our purpose with tangible community impact.
