The Arthur J.E. Child Comprehensive Cancer Centre, set to open in fall 2024, will be Canada's largest cancer treatment and research facility and the second largest in North America. The centre, designed and built by the DIALOG, Stantec and PCL design build team, integrates communities for treatment, education, and research. The outdoor views help support wellbeing and wayfinding throughout the centre. Additionally, the dynamic glazing with electrochromic tinting, integrated into the Building Automation System, enhances efficiency and comfort year-round. The project’s innovative solutions align with the team’s vision of world-class healthcare, and the design focuses on a heart shaped courtyard, fostering trust, comfort, resilience, and hope. This advanced facility features cutting-edge engineering design, showcasing advancements in healthcare design and public infrastructure.
The jury admired the innovative use of glass that allows users to effectively control how much light and heat passes without blinds, which they viewed as a thoughtful design feature centered on patient and staff comfort that enhances energy efficiency. This approach not only benefits the environment, but it also results in cost savings.
