Columbia Asia Hospital, Tebrau

Kota Southkey, Tebrau, Johor Bahru, Johor

Overview

Columbia Asia Hospital, Tebrau, serves Johor Bahru, Kota Southkey and nearby Singapore. It is the second Columbia Asia Hospital in the Johor Bahru vicinity. This 147-bed hospital consists of 3-storeys of above-ground hospital space and a 4th level as mechanical floor to house all the mechanical utilities. There is also a 1-storey basement which serves as car parking space and to house various utilities and services.

As is usual with hospitals, the 3 levels of hospital space were structurally designed with columns in unusual positions to facilitate hospital requirements, and thus necessitated the use of a lot of transfer beams to transfer the load to the floors below.
