History
Shortland Street Hospital has changed over the times to reflect changes in the New Zealand health system.

When Shortland Street commenced, the hospital was known as the Shortland Street Medical Centre. In 2000, it became a public hospital. It received another upgrade in 2007, becoming the new-look hospital it is now.

Floors
According to the lift buttons, Shortland Street Hospital has seven floors. Since 2007, each floor is colour-coded with a different colour.

Administration
Shortland Street Hospital, like all New Zealand public hospitals, is managed by a district health board (DHB). Shortland Street is run by the same DHB as "Central".
