context_page_description: The Queensland Children's Hospital is a public children's hospital in Stanley Street, South Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Opened on 29 November 2014, it is the single specialist paediatric hospital for Queensland, caring for the sickest and most critically injured children from across the state. As well as emergency, critical care and general paediatric services, the hospital has paediatric speciality services.
  The hospital combined the former Royal Children's Hospital at Herston and the Mater Children's Hospital at South Brisbane together into one new facility at an estimated construction cost of A$1.2 billion. The 12-level facility represents the largest capital investment in children's health services in Queensland's history.
  The Queensland Children's Hospital is categorised as a level six service, under the Clinical Services Capability Framework for Public and Licensed Private Health Facilities v3.2, 2014. This means it is responsible for providing general paediatric health services to children and young people in the greater Brisbane metropolitan area, as well as tertiary-level care for the state’s sickest and most seriously injured children.

Based on the concept of a ‘living tree’, the building features a network of trunks and branches running throughout, leading to several outdoor gardens, terraces that fill the hospital with as much natural light as possible.
  The building design has received a number of awards including the 2015 Queensland State Architecture Awards the F.D.G Stanley Award for Public Architecture and the Karl Langer Award for Urban Design from the Australian Institute of Architects.
  At the 2015 Design and Health International Academy Awards, the Hospital design was awarded as the overall winner for Salutogenic Design Project for Healthcare Environment. In addition it was awarded Highly Commended for International Health Project over 40,000m2. Interior Design Project, Use of Art in Public and Private Spaces.
