Project Description
Alexandra Hospital (AH) is a 400-bed general and acute care hospital located at Alexandra Road. In operations for more than 60 years, the hospital has retrofitted many of its pre-war buildings to meet its needs. At the same time, the impact on the environment is considered. Alexandra Hospital is a model for older projects that they can be environment-friendly through a committed approach in retrofitting. A key feature of the hospital is its efforts in nature conservation and preservation. Alexandra Hospital's Butterfly Trail demonstrates the hospital's care for the environment. Other noted practices include recycling its horticulture waste such as leaves and dry grass to make their own compost.
