Combining design and modernization for long term care.


This redevelopment project converts an existing 96 bed Class D facility into a 96 bed Class A conforming to the 2015 MOHLTC Home Design Guidelines. This project is in the schematic design stages and financial analysis. The project design strategy involves the creation of 32 bed RHA’s within three floor levels with administration and support areas located on the ground level. A building addition provides the necessary swing space during the phased renovations of existing wings. It converts existing resident bedrooms from Basic Standard (2 resident occupancy units) to private and semi-private rooms, with a limited number of new basic standard beds. All areas within the RHA’s are upgraded to the latest design standards. The exterior of the building will be completely transformed to align with the Extendicare “home-like” vision for its LTC facilities.

This project consolidated and expanded the University’s Biology Department. The scope of work involved the renovation of an existing laboratory building to meet current standards, and construction of two new lab/administration buildings.

 

The project was organized as a joint venture with Shore Tilbe Irwin & Partners of Toronto. Teeple Architects were also associated with the original design team for the first phase, consisting of a new building containing labs, offices and support facilities. The Phase II building consisted of teaching labs and offices. Phase III consisted of renovation to an existing facility to contain labs and offices and a complete rehabilitation of the building’s cladding.
