ARHCC is a new state of the art hospital and cancer centre to replace the aging MSA Hospital. The design and planning philosophy is to provide a warm, caring and healing environment, which reflects the surrounding community of the Fraser Valley through colour, graphics and materials. This included emphasizing the Indoor/outdoor relationship through the use of a central atrium, access to the outdoors through patios and roof top gardens.
This project was the first P3 hospital project in BC as well as LEED NC Gold. Cost control was critical through out the process to meet the P3 budgeting requirements which sometimes was at odds with the guidelines for LEED, sustainability and a hospital environment.
