The benefit of sunshine is just one tool we used to make this health center feel like home

Alberta Hospital Ponoka - Psychogeriatric Facility & Town Centre

The Ponoka Hospital wanted to create a healthcare environment replete with a town center that would serve as the heart of the facility. Designing with the spirit of a caring in mind, our solution provides a comforting, relaxing atmosphere for patients.

We created a mental health facility that provides hospital care with a residential ambiance. Beautiful bay windows, non-institutional finishes, and shelving for personal mementos help patients to feel like they are at home. The single-story structures located at the southeast corner of the project site are comprised of a 75-bed unit to the south and a 50-bed unit to the east, which are linked to administration and central services through grade level walkways and underground tunnels. Building plans were oriented to optimize daylight entry into patient rooms and provide a private view to the outdoors.

Through expert engineering and careful planning, we created a hospital that feels like home. This sunny, state-of-the-art hospital was completed on schedule.
