Gow Hastings Architects selected to design Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital?s new expansion
Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital?s Bloorview Research Institute (BRI) kicked off construction on the final phase of its largest research expansion in its history. The expansion is entirely funded by an ongoing bold $32-million fundraising campaign, a journey that started in 2018, through a $4-million launch donation from Jason Smith and Heather Smith.
?We are at the forefront of radical change in the way childhood disability research is being conducted,? says Tom Chau, vice president of research at Holland Bloorview and director of the BRI. ?Thanks to our generous donors and supporters of the Grow Holland Bloorview Research campaign, this research expansion will unlock a world of new possibilities so we can impact more kids and families around the globe.? Designed by Gow Hastings Architects, the two-storey 11,000 square foot addition will create critical space for new discovery hubs as well as space for additional research scientists and state-of-the-art research equipment.
?The renovation unites different research disciplines into one open and accessible work environment, showcased through a three-storey internal courtyard,? says Philip Hastings, partner at Gow Hastings Architects. ?The colourful and elevated two-storey addition expands the research space towards the ravine, raising the profile of the hospital within the community.?
