The Royal Children's Hospital, designed by Bates Smart and Billard Leece Partnership, marks a new gateway for Melbourne and to the Parkville health and research precinct.

The massive facility has de-institutionalised the provision of health services in an informal village environment with promenades, courtyards and intimate spaces that promote human values over technological ones.
