This 23,600 sq ft expansion to this Winnipeg-based hospital is part of a larger 42,930 sq ft redevelopment and includes:

• retrofit to the base building structure;

• three bay ambulance garage;

• two trauma/resuscitation rooms;

• urgent care;

• an isolation room;

• a cast room;

• a PV Room;

• separate major and minor treatment areas and

• a six stretcher reassessment unit.

Special consideration was given to the integration/location of security in the planning. Other key objectives included functional integration of the new building addition while allowing access to the existing emergency patient parking, drop off and entrances; and sequencing both the addition and renovations to allow on-going facility operations during construction.  This project is registered and pursuing LEED Silver Certification.
