Vancouver General Hospital – Operating Room Renewal

About the project

A monumental project intended to shape the future of surgery in British Columbia. The project expanded the hospital’s Phil and Jennie Gaglardi Surgical Centre to include 16 new operating rooms, a 40-bay pre/post-operative recovery area, and support services. Technologies that were implemented included state-of-the-art lighting, integrated air handlers, patient tracking, modular interior design, and first-of-its-kind upstream electrical redundancies.
