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.
