The new Patient Support Centre at SickKidsNews in Toronto is tailor made to fit their needs.
Angela GismondiTHE HOSPITAL FOR SICK CHILDREN — The steel erection of the pedestrian bridge connecting the Patient Support Centre to the atrium at the Hospital for Sick Children was completed this summer.
“That’s kind of what we used as inspiration for all the colours,” which are featured on the façade as well as the stairs, said Luca Visentin, senior project manager and principal with B+H Architects. Being the building architect, landscape architect and interior fit out designer meant looking at how to design the building from “the outside in and the inside out,” Visentin explained.
“The envelope restrictions that we had within the building, we used those to tailor and inform the final form,” Visentin said. PCL’s scope of work includes the full construction and fit out of the office tower. The team took control of the site in January 2019. There was an existing eight-storey building on the property that needed to be demolished.
The bridge was also part of PCL’s contract but required a different level of planning with hospital staff because it crosses over a city street and ties into the existing building.
