General Medical Training was the peak ongoing professional education body for General Practitioners in the Far North Queensland and Torres Regions. This facility is based in Townsville and hosts professionals from remote inland and coastal northern Queensland for week long training programs.
The training room side of the lobby is lined with ply panelling with a regular timber stud pattern in a reference to the vernacular architecture. The transparent boardroom and meeting room functions express the open and accountable face of contemporary business.
This facility is a conduit for professionals operating in remote communities to access training. The provision of a fitout of “world’s best practice” standards elevates the centre beyond the regional feel to which professionals servicing remote areas are normally relegated.
The occupants benefit from increased connectivity between teams and improved access to natural daylight. The contemporary look and feel of the space has positively impacted staff morale.
