“That allows us to be more efficient and care for more patients every day. And it provides a much better environment overall,” Mr. Klassen says. The big idea we have in all our hospital designs is breaking down the stigma of a hospital as an ugly place you go to only when you are sick and making it more a part of the community it serves.Outdoor space was a priority. In addition to a landscaped terrace for staff and visitors, a unique addition is the Huband Moffat Family Terrace, a secure, glassed-in terrace with an open roof and heated floor to give patients with mental-health issues a calming outdoor space, Dr. Simone says.
Donors to the Michael Garron Hospital Foundation capital fund are recognized in a large display in the lobby of the new centre.The building is on the site of a former parking lot. Building new is more efficient than re-adapting a former space to modern treatment standards, says Mr. McQuillan, whose company has designed hospital additions across Canada. “Renovating in a hospital is much different than in an office because hospitals have to continue to operate.
