Members of HH Angus’ Healthcare team are in Calgary this week for the CHES (Canadian Healthcare Engineering Society) Conference, where we are contributing to the national conversation on advancing healthcare delivery.

On Monday, September 15, John Bastian, Associate Director & Principal, will join a panel discussion on Transforming Toronto Western Hospital, highlighting how the Design-Assist model fosters collaboration, drives innovation, and supports better project outcomes. He will be joined by fellow panelists Raul Dominguez (DIALOG) and Joseph Day (EllisDon).

In addition to our presentation, members of our Healthcare team—including Meagan Webb, Kim Spencer, JD Tattle, Diane Lee, Ash Parmar, and Henry Yao—are attending CHES to connect with peers across the industry and stay closely engaged with emerging insights, technologies, and trends shaping the safe, effective delivery of healthcare services.

The Bayers Lake Community Outpatient Centre was recently honoured as a Gold Winner by the 2024 Urban Design & Architecture Design Awards.

 

The project was recognized for innovation and design excellence. The Outpatient Centre is part of a $2-billion P3 redevelopment of the QEII Health Sciences Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia. HH Angus, in affiliation with Dillon Consulting, provided mechanical engineering, fire protection and plumbing design to the 134,000 ft2 project, which was led by the EllisDon Infrastructure Healthcare Consortium. The design team was led by Parkin Architects and FBM Architects.

A vital community resource, the Outpatient Centre provides essential ambulatory care closer to patients residing outside the Greater Halifax Region. Anticipating 28,000 clinic visits and 30,000 x-ray and blood collection visits per year, the Centre provides a range of patient services that do not require a hospital setting. These include initial visits with specialists, post-surgery and post-treatment follow-up, blood collection, eye care clinic, physio and occupational therapy, diabetes and orthopedic assessments, rehabilitation services, 17 examination rooms, 24 dialysis stations, and diagnostic imaging (x-rays and ultrasounds).
