Focusplan

Introducing Canopy Imaging Palmerston North!🎉

Focusplan was honoured to design and deliver Manawatu's first permanent PET CT scanner for Canopy Imaging, nestled within the Aorangi Specialist Centre. This new facility means Manawatu patients no longer need to travel out of the region for treatment, bringing world-class care closer to home.

The facility includes a PET CT, four Uptake Rooms, a Hot Lab, and a Post Recovery room, each carefully designed to meet the clinical requirements of a Molecular Imaging facility while keeping the patient and staff experience front of mind.

Rich, woven textures set against a calm, light-coloured green palette offer a quiet nod to Canopy Imaging's leaf motif, bringing warmth and a natural feel into the space.

🤍We recently received some uplifting feedback from a patient that we had to share:

"I understand you all designed the stunning offices at Canopy Cancer Care centers. I've got to say, it is sad health conditions that get us into that space, but your design is a real spirit lifter. Feel very grateful for your beautiful work."

To hear words like these, direct from a patient, reminds us why we do our job. It's proof of how much impact a well-designed medical space can have on someone going through a difficult time. A huge shoutout to the interior designer Jane Pilkington, who led the vision behind this space.

To the patient who shared this with us: thank you. Knowing our work brought a moment of lift to your day means more to our team than words can say.

Enabling the healthcare profession to provide the best patient and staff experience.

We are proud to see Wellington Hospital's new $6 million linear accelerator now in service, providing faster, more advanced radiation therapy for cancer patients across the lower North Island. The investment represents another important step forward in delivering world-class cancer care in New Zealand.

Focusplan was privileged to be the design and fitout partner for the LINAC bunker that houses this state-of-the-art Varian treatment system. Delivering spaces like these requires exceptional collaboration, precision, and a shared commitment to patient outcomes.

A sincere thank you to Jack Wootton from Octa and Lynne Greig from Health NZ for placing their trust in Focusplan to deliver this critical project. It was a pleasure working alongside such a committed team.

Congratulations to all those who contributed to this project and to the clinical teams who will use this facility to improve the lives of patients for many years to come!

We're grateful for the fantastic feedback we've received recently, with multiple 10/10 ratings recognising our team's dedication, collaboration, and professionalism of our team and project partners.

Thank you to our clients for your continued trust and support.💯

Another week of steady progress across all of our project sites!

Our Molecular Imaging facility in Palmerston North is nearing completion as the team prepares for the delivery of the PET machine at the end of the week - a significant step forward for the project!

Over at our Imaging fitout site at Newmarket, the first sections of wall framing are now going up, allowing key modality rooms to take shape.

Meanwhile, our Hamilton ophthalmology site has progressed through the wall lining stage, with painting now underway.

It's exciting to see these spaces turn from concept to reality, and we can't wait to see the impact they have for patients and staff across each region.

📢Focusplan is live at Rotorua GPCME!

👀A sneak peek at what's coming next...

Momentum is building across Focusplan projects nationwide, with a surgical facility in Auckland and an imaging centre in Christchurch both progressing through the early stages of base build construction. The team has also recently mobilised on another Auckland project, with demolition now complete on a 3,600sqm site to enable a new comprehensive imaging clinic fitout.

It's exciting to see these projects taking shape and moving closer to becoming world-class healthcare facilities.

Stay tuned for further updates as each project progresses!
