Queensland Eye Institute Day Surgery & Research Facility | Woolloongabba, QLD

MODE provided full architectural and interior design consultancy services for the Queensland Eye Institute (QEI) redevelopment at Woolloongabba.

The development included a new Day Surgery and Central Sterile Department (CSD), specialist consulting suites, corporate offices, and a research laboratory. MODE delivered services from concept design through documentation and construction, working within a D&C procurement model.

Our team collaborated closely with clinical stakeholders to confirm patient flows, surgical functionality, and operational requirements. The resulting design integrates clinical care, research, and administration, enhancing QEI’s capacity to provide specialist health services and advance ophthalmic research.
