The new Adult Acute Mental Health Inpatient Facility will have space for 64 beds and will be built on the current site of the Waikato Regional Renal Centre.
The new facility will be built in two phases, comprising the Adult Acute Mental Health Inpatient Unit and the Waikato Regional Renal Centre. The phased approach is intended to allow the new renal centre to be completed first and the services to move across, making way for the mental health building.
