RAIC | <strong>Architecture</strong><br />
<strong>Canada</strong><br />
the leading voice<br />
<strong>of</strong> architecture<br />
in <strong>Canada</strong><br />
Established in 1907, RAIC is a voluntary national association representing<br />
more than 4,600 members—including architects, faculty and graduates <strong>of</strong><br />
accredited Canadian Schools <strong>of</strong> <strong>Architecture</strong> from every region <strong>of</strong> the country.<br />
It provides the national framework for the development and recognition <strong>of</strong><br />
architectural excellence.<br />
Membership<br />
Members include Licensed (or Registered) Architects, <strong>Architectural</strong> graduates,<br />
Intern Architects or Interns, as well as full-time faculty members <strong>of</strong> a<br />
University School <strong>of</strong> <strong>Architecture</strong>. Architects who reside outside <strong>Canada</strong> can<br />
become International Associates. Architects who have graduated outside<br />
<strong>Canada</strong> and reside here in <strong>Canada</strong> may make a special application to be<br />
considered for full membership. A full-time student from an architectural<br />
program in a Canadian accredited University School <strong>of</strong> <strong>Architecture</strong> or in<br />
the Syllabus program can become a Student Associate. Also, those who are<br />
involved in the Design and Construction Industry and who are associated with<br />
the architectural pr<strong>of</strong>ession can become Affiliates.<br />
A Greener <strong>Canada</strong><br />
RAIC has consistently led the charge toward a more sustainable builtenvironment—incubating<br />
the establishment <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Canada</strong> Green Building<br />
Council; and developing the Sustainable Design for Canadian Buildings (SDCB)<br />
series for architects; emphasizing the importance <strong>of</strong> life-cycle costing and ways<br />
to educate building owners about the importance <strong>of</strong> long-term operating and<br />
maintenance costs in all management and design decisions.<br />
RAIC is part <strong>of</strong> the 2030 Challenge—a global initiative calling for an<br />
immediate reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption<br />
in all new buildings and major renovations. The goal is that by 2030 all new<br />
buildings and major renovations be carbon-neutral—generating as much<br />
energy as they consume. ■<br />

Les effectifs de l’IRAC se composent d’architectes, de diplômés en architecture,<br />
de stagiaires et de pr<strong>of</strong>esseurs à temps plein des écoles universitaires<br />
d’architecture. Un architecte qui réside à l’extérieur du <strong>Canada</strong> peut s’inscrire<br />
à titre d’associé international. Celui qui est diplômé de l’étranger et qui réside<br />
au <strong>Canada</strong> peut quant à lui présenter une demande spéciale d’être reconnu<br />
à titre de membre à part entière. Un étudiant inscrit à temps plein dans un<br />
programme d’architecture d’une école universitaire d’architecture agréée ou<br />
dans le programme Syllabus de l’IRAC peut s’inscrire à titre d’étudiant associé.<br />
En outre, les personnes physiques ou morales qui oeuvrent dans l’industrie du<br />
design et de la construction et qui ont des liens avec le milieu de l’architecture<br />
peuvent s’inscrire à titre de membres affiliés.<br />
Un <strong>Canada</strong> plus vert<br />
L’IRAC a toujours joué un rôle de chef de file pour ce qui est d’améliorer<br />
la durabilité de l’environnement bâti. Il a participé à la création du Conseil du<br />
bâtiment durable du <strong>Canada</strong>; il a élaboré les cours de la série Développement<br />
durable des bâtiments au <strong>Canada</strong> (DDBC), à l’intention des architectes; il a<br />
insisté sur l’importance du coût sur le cycle de vie et sur les façons de sensibiliser<br />
les propriétaires immobiliers afin qu’ils tiennent compte des coûts<br />
d’exploitation et d’entretien à long terme lorsqu’ils prennent des décisions<br />
relatives à la conception et à la gestion de leurs immeubles.<br />
L’IRAC participe au Défi 2030—une initiative mondiale qui vise dès maintenant<br />
la réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre et de la consommation<br />
énergétique de tous les nouveaux bâtiments et des bâtiments faisant l’objet<br />
de rénovations majeures. L’objectif ultime du Défi est d’assurer la neutralité en<br />
carbone de tous ces bâtiments d’ici 2030—c’est-à-dire que tous ces bâtiments<br />
produisent autant d’énergie qu’ils en consomment. ■<br />

DEsigning better healthcare<br />
Healthcare design<br />
can improve patient<br />
outcomes<br />
By Peter Kenter | Photos By Greg Paupst<br />
The pursuit <strong>of</strong> better healthcare and better<br />
healthcare design at lower cost per capita was the<br />
theme <strong>of</strong> the 2013 International Union <strong>of</strong> Architects/<br />
Public Health Group (UIA/PHG) Forum and Global<br />
University Programs in Healthcare <strong>Architecture</strong><br />
(GUPHA) Meeting, held September 24-28 in<br />
Toronto. Presented by RAIC | <strong>Architecture</strong> <strong>Canada</strong>,<br />
in collaboration with the Interior Designers <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Canada</strong>, the event represented a distinct program<br />
integrated within the program <strong>of</strong> the International<br />
Interior Design Exposition (IIDEX) 2013.<br />
www.raic.org / 2014<br />
The event was chaired by Clifford Harvey, MRAIC, Senior Architect for the<br />
Ontario Ministry <strong>of</strong> Health and Long-Term Care (MOH) and Pr<strong>of</strong>essor George J.<br />
Mann, AIA, Texas A&M University, President <strong>of</strong> GUPHA and Director UIA/PHG.<br />
Harvey says his involvement as co-chair began with a personal pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />
drive to access international research into best practices that would assist<br />
him in providing informed investment advice on capital projects to the MOH.<br />
“Last January, I contacted the UIA/PHG to see if I could attend their session<br />
in Oslo, Norway and in that discussion they expressed an interest in coming<br />
to <strong>Canada</strong>,” says Harvey. “I approached the RAIC with a proposal for hosting<br />
this event in its joint venture with IIDEX and they accepted.”<br />
Collaboration with IIDEX would be critical to the staging <strong>of</strong> the event, to<br />
leverage the organizers’ expertise in conference registration and event planning.<br />
While Harvey attended the Oslo event in a pr<strong>of</strong>essional capacity, entirely<br />
apart from his duties with the MOH, he notes that the ministry actively encouraged<br />
his involvement in planning and chairing the current conference.<br />
Harvey and Mann advertised an open call for papers in May and established<br />
a committee representing architects, interior designers and some suppliers<br />
interested in healthcare. Papers were rated and selected according to a matrix<br />
developed by the group. All UIA members and RAIC members, who are automatically<br />
registered as UIA members, were <strong>of</strong>fered the opportunity to present.<br />

Presentations were organized so that similar material was grouped together at<br />
the conference, regardless <strong>of</strong> the country from which the presenter originated.<br />
“In that way, the messages <strong>of</strong> each presentation were reinforced,” says<br />
Harvey. “One <strong>of</strong> the key messages I took away from my own research is that the<br />
practice <strong>of</strong> healthcare design does not change as you cross borders. There are<br />
cultural nuances and some parameters are influenced by system decisions, but<br />
the fundamental arguments about healthcare design are similar across borders<br />
and around the world.”<br />
Conference presenters included pr<strong>of</strong>essionals from <strong>Canada</strong> and the U.S.,<br />
and ranged to presenters from countries as far away as the UK, France, Germany,<br />
Italy, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia and China. Presenters included architects,<br />
interior designers, doctors and government <strong>of</strong>ficials.<br />
Presentations also covered a wide variety <strong>of</strong> topics and disciplines, linked<br />
by a strong emphasis on research-based design, evidence-based decisionmaking<br />
and patient care that is both effective and cost-efficient.<br />
The topics presented included a series <strong>of</strong> questions designed to intrigue audiences<br />
as well as inform them. How can the design <strong>of</strong> a hospital affect the health<br />
<strong>of</strong> a city? What sort <strong>of</strong> measurable effect does building and interior design or the<br />
presence and timing <strong>of</strong> lighting have on patient outcomes? Can landscape design<br />
result in measurable improvements in patient health? How can healthcare facilities<br />
be better designed to accommodate an aging population? How can healthcare<br />
facility design directly improve the morale and productivity <strong>of</strong> staff members?<br />
Should healthcare architects consider themselves medical pr<strong>of</strong>essionals?<br />
Some <strong>of</strong> the presentations resulted directly from particular challenges in<br />
patient care. One presenter described how a mental health centre could be made<br />
more secure for staff and visitors, without making the building less conducive to<br />
calm and healing. An interior designer was charged with the task <strong>of</strong> making the<br />
interior <strong>of</strong> a healthcare facility almost literally disappear for critically ill patients<br />
who would simply rather be anywhere else.<br />
Presenters repeatedly stressed that effective designs affecting patient health<br />
and treatment outcomes could only be achieved if design pr<strong>of</strong>essionals collaborated<br />
with healthcare pr<strong>of</strong>essionals as well as engineers. Only then could they<br />
access the research required to demonstrate that one design approach achieved<br />
superior results for patients when compared to another at an acceptable cost.<br />
The conference attracted a broad scope <strong>of</strong> attendees, ranging from members<br />
<strong>of</strong> architectural firms from across North America and the international market, to<br />
senior decision makers and CEOs <strong>of</strong> hospitals and healthcare facilities, managers<br />
responsible for healthcare facility redevelopment and Harvey’s own colleagues<br />
from the MOH.<br />
“I can walk away from this conference with a lot <strong>of</strong> valuable knowledge<br />
points about materials, glazing and lighting, which are all extremely important<br />
to patients and the health <strong>of</strong> the community,” says Harvey. “But our job is to put<br />
it all together into an intelligent story. As those stories are developed with senior<br />
decision-makers, CEOs <strong>of</strong> hospitals, doctors and healthcare team members and<br />
shared on an international level, these intelligent stories will actually begin to ring<br />
true and gather momentum.”<br />

DEsigning better healthcare<br />
He notes that the MOH is monitoring the conference closely.<br />
“The ministry is very active in terms <strong>of</strong> research, and the development<br />
<strong>of</strong> standards and best practices regarding healthcare design,” says Harvey.<br />
“They’re very interested in the results and the outcome <strong>of</strong> this conference.”<br />
He also notes that the conference event has dovetailed with the establishment<br />
<strong>of</strong> the new <strong>Institute</strong> for <strong>Architecture</strong> and Human Health at the University<br />
<strong>of</strong> Toronto. The <strong>Institute</strong> will research the impact <strong>of</strong> architecture and design<br />
on the quality <strong>of</strong> patient care, the delivery <strong>of</strong> healthcare services, and the<br />
creation <strong>of</strong> more efficient, cost-effective healthcare facilities.<br />
“What we want to do at the ministry is to partner with the universities<br />
to continue this research work in order to develop further healthcare design<br />
best practices,” says Harvey. “In Ontario, we’ve completed 120 projects at a<br />
value <strong>of</strong> more than $10 billion during the past 10 years. However, by the time<br />
you finish a project, you <strong>of</strong>ten realize you’re working to yesterday’s standards.<br />
Now we’re coming down to some serious questions about the transformation<br />
<strong>of</strong> our existing facilities and what we should be investing in. Research is a<br />
key component <strong>of</strong> this.”<br />
He says he has confidence that the conference will also reinvigorate the<br />
activity and interests <strong>of</strong> the RAIC Public Healthcare Group.<br />
“We’re planning another conference next July 9 through 13 in Toronto with<br />
the International Academy for Design and Health,” says Harvey. “We’re trying<br />
to keep this momentum going.” ■<br />

« Aller mieux! À la poursuite d’une meilleure santé<br />
et d’une meilleure conception des équipements<br />
santé à un juste coût » : voilà le thème exploré<br />
dans le cadre du Forum du groupe de la Santé<br />
publique de l’Union internationale des architectes<br />
et des programmes universitaires mondiaux sur<br />
l’architecture des équipements de santé (GUPHA)<br />
qui s’est tenu du 24 au 28 septembre à Toronto.<br />
Présenté par l’IRAC | <strong>Architecture</strong> <strong>Canada</strong>, en collaboration<br />
avec Designers d’intérieur du <strong>Canada</strong>,<br />
l’événement s’est inscrit comme un programme<br />
distinct intégré au programme de l’exposition<br />
internationale du design d’intérieur (IIDEX) 2013.<br />
Clifford Harvey, MRAIC, architecte principal au ministère de la Santé<br />
et des Soins de longue durée de l’Ontario, et le pr<strong>of</strong>esseur George J. Mann,<br />
AIA, de la Texas A&M University, président du GUPHA et administrateur du<br />
groupe de la Santé publique de l’UIA, ont coprésidé le forum.<br />
Clifford Harvey raconte que sa participation à titre de coprésident est née<br />
de son intérêt personnel envers la recherche internationale sur les pratiques<br />
exemplaires qui l’aideraient à fournir des conseils d’investissements immobiliers<br />
judicieux au ministère.<br />
« En janvier dernier, j’ai communiqué avec le groupe de la Santé publique<br />
de l’UIA pour voir si je pouvais assister à sa rencontre d’Oslo, en Norvège, et<br />
au fil de la conversation, j’ai appris que le groupe aimerait venir au <strong>Canada</strong> »,<br />
dit-il. « J’ai approché l’IRAC avec une proposition pour organiser cet événement<br />
dans le cadre de son partenariat avec IIDEX et ma proposition a été acceptée. »<br />
La collaboration avec IIDEX était essentielle à la tenue du forum, en raison<br />
de son expertise en planification d’événements et en logistique d’inscription.<br />
Clifford Harvey a assisté au forum d’Oslo à titre de pr<strong>of</strong>essionnel et non<br />
pas à titre de fonctionnaire du ministère ontarien de la Santé, mais il souligne<br />
que son employeur l’a néanmoins encouragé activement à participer à la<br />
planification et à la présidence de la conférence de Toronto.<br />
Avec George J. Mann, il a donc lancé un appel de communications en mai<br />
dernier et créé un comité formé d’architectes, de designers d’intérieur et de<br />
quelques fournisseurs qui s’intéressent aux soins de santé. Les propositions<br />
reçues ont été évaluées et choisies selon une grille élaborée par le comité.<br />
Tous les membres de l’UIA et les membres de l’IRAC, qui sont automatiquement<br />
inscrits comme membres de l’UIA, ont eu l’occasion de soumettre une proposition.<br />
Les présentations ont été organisées de manière à regrouper celles qui<br />
traitaient d’un sujet semblable, peu importe le pays d’origine du présentateur.<br />
« Ainsi, les messages ont été renforcés », souligne Clifford Harvey. « L’un<br />
des principaux messages que je retiens de mes propres recherches, c’est que<br />
la conception des établissements de santé repose sur les mêmes prémisses,<br />
peu importe le pays. Il y a bien sûr des nuances culturelles et certains paramètres<br />
sont influencés par des décisions systémiques, mais les arguments<br />
fondamentaux de la conception d’un établissement de santé se ressemblent<br />
partout dans le monde. »<br />

Des pr<strong>of</strong>essionnels du <strong>Canada</strong> et des États-Unis, et d’autres de pays aussi<br />
éloignés que le Royaume-Uni, la France, l’Allemagne, l’Italie, l’Arabie saoudite,<br />
la Malaisie et la Chine ont présenté des exposés. Ces pr<strong>of</strong>essionnels étaient<br />
des architectes, des designers d’intérieur, des médecins et des représentants<br />
de gouvernements.<br />
Les exposés ont couvert une grande diversité de sujets et de disciplines,<br />
mais tous ont insisté sur la conception fondée sur la recherche, la prise de<br />
décision fondée sur des éléments probants et les soins aux patients efficaces<br />
et efficients.<br />
Le forum a aussi été l’occasion de poser une série de questions visant à<br />
éveiller la curiosité des participants et à les informer. Comment la conception<br />
d’un hôpital peut-elle influer sur la santé d’une ville? Quel genre d’effet<br />
mesurable la conception et l’aménagement intérieur des établissements de<br />
santé ou la présence ou les plages horaires de l’éclairage peuvent-ils avoir<br />
sur les résultats des patients? L’aménagement paysager peut-il entraîner<br />
une amélioration mesurable de la santé des patients? Comment améliorer la<br />
conception des établissements de soins de santé en fonction d’une population<br />
vieillissante? Comment la conception des établissements de santé peut-elle<br />
améliorer directement le moral et la productivité des employés? Les architectes<br />
des établissements de santé devraient-ils se considérer comme des<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essionnels de la santé?<br />
Certains exposés portaient sur des défis particuliers posés par les soins<br />
aux patients et des expériences concrètes. Un présentateur a décrit comment<br />
on pouvait améliorer la sécurité des employés et des visiteurs d’un centre de<br />
santé mentale sans compromettre le calme et le climat favorable à la guérison.<br />
Un designer d’intérieur a été mandaté pour aménager un établissement de<br />
façon à ce que les patients très malades qui aimeraient tellement être ailleurs<br />
n’aient pas l’impression d’être hospitalisés.<br />
Les présentateurs ont souligné à maintes reprises que la collaboration<br />
entre les pr<strong>of</strong>essionnels de la conception, architectes, ingénieurs et designers<br />
d’intérieur, et les pr<strong>of</strong>essionnels de la santé était essentielle à la réalisation<br />
de bâtiments qui améliorent la santé des patients et les résultats des soins.<br />
Seule cette collaboration permet d’avoir accès aux études nécessaires pour<br />
démontrer qu’une approche conceptuelle donnée entraîne des résultats<br />
supérieurs pour les patients à un coût acceptable.<br />
Le forum a attiré des participants de plusieurs horizons : des architectes<br />
de partout en Amérique du Nord et d’ailleurs dans le monde, des décideurs<br />
de haut niveau, et des directeurs d’hôpitaux et d’établissements de santé,<br />
des gestionnaires responsables du réaménagement d’établissements de santé<br />
et des collègues de Clifford Harvey au ministère de la Santé et des Soins de<br />
longue durée de l’Ontario.<br />
« Ce forum m’a permis d’acquérir bien des connaissances fort utiles sur<br />
les matériaux, le vitrage et l’éclairage, qui sont des éléments extrêmement<br />
importants pour les patients et la santé de la communauté », souligne Clifford<br />
Harvey. « Toutefois, nous devons maintenant rassembler toutes ces connaissances<br />
et ces expériences en un tout intelligent. Comme ces témoignages et<br />

« ... la conception des établissements de santé<br />
repose sur les mêmes prémisses, peu importe le<br />
pays. Il y a bien sûr des nuances culturelles et<br />
certains paramètres sont influencés par des décisions<br />
systémiques, mais les arguments fondamentaux<br />
de la conception d’un établissement de santé se<br />
ressemblent partout dans le monde. »<br />
ces exposés sont élaborés avec des décideurs de haut niveau, des directeurs<br />
d’hôpitaux, des médecins et d’autres membres des équipes de soins et qu’ils<br />
sont diffusés sur la scène internationale, ils commencent réellement à trouver<br />
une certaine résonance et suscitent de plus en plus l’intérêt. »<br />
Il souligne que son ministère suit de près les activités de ce forum.<br />
« Le ministère est très actif sur le plan de la recherche et du développement<br />
de normes et de pratiques exemplaires en matière de conception d’établissements<br />
de santé », ajoute-t-il. « Il s’intéresse vivement aux résultats et aux<br />
incidences de ce forum. »<br />

Concevoir de meilleurs établissements de santé<br />
Il souligne enfin que le forum a concordé avec la création de l’<strong>Institute</strong> for<br />
<strong>Architecture</strong> and Human Health à la University <strong>of</strong> Toronto. Cet institut mènera<br />
des études sur les incidences de l’architecture et du design sur la qualité des<br />
soins aux patients, la prestation des services de soins de santé et la création<br />
d’établissements de soins de santé plus efficaces et efficients.<br />
« Au ministère, nous voulons nous associer avec les universités pour<br />
poursuivre la recherche en vue de développer davantage les pratiques<br />
exemplaires de la conception d’établissements de santé », conclut Clifford<br />
Harvey. « En Ontario, nous avons réalisé 120 projets totalisant plus de 10<br />
milliards $ au cours des 10 dernières années. Pourtant, à l’achèvement<br />
d’un projet, nous réalisons souvent que nous travaillons avec des normes<br />
dépassées. Nous nous posons aujourd’hui de sérieuses questions sur la<br />
transformation de nos immeubles existants et nous nous demandons dans<br />
quoi investir. La recherche est un élément important qui nous aidera à<br />
répondre à nos interrogations. »<br />
Il est convaincu que le forum donnera un souffle nouveau à l’activité du<br />
groupe de travail sur les établissements de santé publics de l’IRAC.<br />
« Nous planifions une autre conférence qui aura lieu du 9 au 13 juillet 2014<br />
à Toronto, de concert avec l’International Academy for Design and Health, »<br />
ajoute-t-il. « Nous voulons poursuivre sur notre lancée. » ■<br />

a healthcare hub<br />
A healthcare hub for all<br />
By Christopher Guly<br />
When it opened in Toronto in June, the Bridgepoint Healthcare Centre became the largest facility <strong>of</strong><br />
its kind in <strong>Canada</strong> focused on the rehabilitation and treatment <strong>of</strong> patients living with complex health<br />
conditions. Now, one <strong>of</strong> the architects involved in its design believes the 464-bed, 10-storey hospital<br />
could serve as an important component <strong>of</strong> a holistic health-and-wellness system <strong>of</strong> community care<br />
never before seen in this country.<br />
www.raic.org / 2014<br />
Greg Colucci, MRAIC, a principal with Toronto-based Diamond Schmitt<br />
Architects, envisions a model that would provide urban, suburban and rural<br />
residents with access to treatment, care and prevention on one campus—and<br />
Bridgepoint, which was designed by a consortium <strong>of</strong> architects from Stantec,<br />
KPMB Architects, HDR <strong>Architecture</strong> and Diamond Schmitt—satisfies some<br />
<strong>of</strong> his wish list in providing ambulatory care as well as complex continuing<br />
care and rehabilitation services that incorporate elements <strong>of</strong> prevention<br />
and treatment.<br />
The 63,000-square-metre facility also happens to sit on a plot <strong>of</strong> land<br />
where three other sites have been identified for future development over the<br />
next decade.<br />
Were Colucci to realize his dream, such an area could consist <strong>of</strong> other<br />
elements, such as centres for cancer care and mental health, a medical clinic,<br />
a long-term care facility, an assisted living retirement home, a guest house<br />
for respite, a fitness and community centre, a learning resource centre and<br />
possibly even space for life-sciences research. This healthcare constellation<br />
could also include food markets and cafés.<br />
“Imagine a place where you could go to your family doctor, then drop your<br />
kids <strong>of</strong>f at a fitness centre while you search for information about healthy<br />
living at a library,” said Colucci. “You then pick up Grandma at the retirement<br />
home and take the family grocery shopping followed by lunch—all at the same<br />
location, whether it’s in a major city or a rural environment.”<br />
He presented the idea <strong>of</strong> such a fully integrated campus <strong>of</strong> care at the<br />
2013 International Union <strong>of</strong> Architects Public Health Group Forum and Global<br />
University Programs in Healthcare <strong>Architecture</strong> Meeting at IIDEX 2013 in<br />
Toronto, presented by RAIC.<br />
“At one end, you would have a site for treatment, whether it’s through<br />
long-term care or rehabilitation services. At the other end, you would focus<br />
on prevention, such as through a learning resource centre or fitness facility,”<br />
explained Colucci in an interview.<br />
“Ambulatory care would straddle both sides in providing people with access<br />
to primary care and minor day-hospital procedures.”<br />
The question that confounds him is why such a one-stop healthcare<br />
complex has not been established in <strong>Canada</strong>. Similar treatment-andprevention<br />
models exist in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia<br />
and Scandinavia.<br />
“It doesn’t have to be a physical collection <strong>of</strong> buildings,” said Colucci. “It<br />
just has to be a mindset that has all these entities talking to one another to<br />

create something greater than the sum <strong>of</strong> their individual parts where people<br />
have a place to go to learn how to take care <strong>of</strong> themselves.”<br />
However, as he pointed out, that conversation isn’t occurring and the<br />
required partners in the process function within their own silos.<br />
Provincial health ministries operate ambulatory, continuing and long-term<br />
care facilities. Municipalities run fitness and community centres and libraries,<br />
while retirement homes are private-sector businesses.<br />
If they all came together, perhaps a health-and-wellness campus could<br />
receive public-private funding, according to Colucci, who served as project<br />
architect for the award-winning Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care’s Apotex<br />
Centre for long-term care residents and those suffering from cognitive disorders<br />
in Toronto.<br />
“As architects, we have the capability and understanding <strong>of</strong> all <strong>of</strong> the<br />
required building types, but nobody is pulling them together into a single<br />
campus,” said Colucci.<br />
The idea for a healthcare hub has caught the attention and interest <strong>of</strong> some<br />
significant and potential future partners, including Blake Hutcheson, president<br />
and CEO <strong>of</strong> real estate developer Oxford Properties Group, and Cliff Harvey,<br />
MRAIC, senior architect at the Ontario Ministry <strong>of</strong> Health and Long-Term Care. ■<br />
“<br />
Such an area could consist <strong>of</strong> other elements,<br />
such as centres for cancer care and mental health, a<br />
medical clinic, a long-term care facility, an assisted<br />
living retirement home, a guest house for respite, a<br />
fitness and community centre, a learning resource<br />
centre and possibly even space for life-sciences<br />
research. This health-care constellation could also<br />
include food markets and cafés.<br />

Un carrefour de soins de santé<br />
Un carrefour de soins<br />

L’hôpital Bridgepoint, inauguré en juin dernier à Toronto, est le plus grand établissement de santé dédié<br />
à la réhabilitation et au traitement des patients atteints de maladies complexes au <strong>Canada</strong>. L’un des<br />
architectes qui ont participé à sa conception croit que l’hôpital de 10 étages et de 464 lits pourrait être<br />
une composante importante d’un système holistique de soins communautaires de santé et de bien-être<br />
comme il n’en existe aucun au pays.<br />
www.raic.org / 2014<br />
Greg Colucci, MRAIC, associé principal de la firme torontoise Diamond<br />
Schmitt Architects, rêve d’un modèle qui <strong>of</strong>frirait aux résidents des villes,<br />
des banlieues et des zones rurales l’accès à des traitements, des soins et<br />
des services de prévention dans un même complexe. L’hôpital Bridgepoint,<br />
conçu par les architectes Stantec, KPMB Architects, HDR <strong>Architecture</strong> and<br />
Diamond Schmitt, en consortium, répond en quelque sorte à cette vision, car<br />
il <strong>of</strong>fre des soins ambulatoires, des soins continus complexes et des services<br />
de réhabilitation qui intègrent des éléments de prévention et de traitement.<br />
L’établissement de 63 000 pieds carrés est également construit à proximité<br />
de terrains sur lesquels trois projets de développement seront réalisés<br />
au cours de la prochaine décennie.<br />
Pour que se réalise le rêve de Greg Colucci, ces projets pourraient consister<br />
en un centre de soins pour le cancer et de soins en santé mentale, une clinique<br />
médicale, un établissement de soins de longue durée, une résidence-services,<br />
un centre d’hébergement pour les soins de relève, un centre de conditionnement<br />
physique et un centre communautaire, un centre de formation et peut-être<br />
même un espace pour la recherche en sciences de la vie. Cette constellation<br />
d’établissements de soins pourrait même comprendre des marchés d’alimentation<br />
et des cafés.<br />

faites des recherches sur les modes de vie sains à la bibliothèque », dit-il. « Vous<br />
allez ensuite chercher grand-maman dans sa résidence pour personnes âgées<br />
puis vous allez ensemble faire l’épicerie avant d’aller déjeuner au restaurant—tout<br />
cela en un même endroit, que ce soit dans une grande ville ou en milieu rural. »<br />
Greg Colucci a exposé le principe d’un tel complexe de soins entièrement<br />
intégrés lors du Forum du groupe de la Santé publique de l’Union internationale<br />
des architectes et des programmes universitaires mondiaux sur l’architecture<br />
des équipements de santé, présenté par l’IRAC, à IIDEX 2013.<br />
« D’une part, vous auriez un lieu de traitement, que ce soit pour des<br />
soins de longue durée ou des services de réhabilitation, et d’autre part,<br />
vous accorderiez de l’importance à la prévention, que ce soit par un centre<br />
de formation ou un centre de conditionnement physique », a expliqué Greg<br />
Colucci dans une entrevue.<br />
« Les soins ambulatoires assureraient à la fois l’accès aux soins primaires<br />
et aux opérations mineures qui ne requièrent pas l’hospitalisation. »<br />
Il trouve déconcertant qu’aucun complexe de soins de santé centralisé de<br />
ce genre n’existe encore au <strong>Canada</strong>. Des modèles semblables de traitement<br />
et de prévention existent aux États-Unis, au Royaume-Uni, en Australie et<br />
dans les pays scandinaves.<br />
« Il n’est pas nécessaire qu’un tel complexe comporte plusieurs bâtiments<br />
distincts », ajoute l’architecte. « Il faut juste qu’il y ait une volonté que toutes<br />
ces entités communiquent entre elles pour créer un tout plus grand que la<br />
somme de ses parties, où les gens disposent d’un endroit pour apprendre<br />
comment prendre soin d’eux-mêmes. »<br />
Pourtant, comme il le souligne, ce dialogue ne se produit pas actuellement<br />
et les divers intervenants fonctionnent en vases clos.<br />
Les ministères provinciaux de la Santé exploitent les établissements<br />
de soins ambulatoires, de soins continus et de soins de longue durée. Les<br />

municipalités exploitent quant à elles les centres de conditionnement physique,<br />
les centres communautaires et les bibliothèques, et les entreprises du secteur<br />
privé exploitent les résidences pour personnes âgées.<br />
Si ces divers intervenants unissaient leurs efforts, peut-être serait-il<br />
possible qu’un complexe de santé et de bien-être reçoive un financement<br />
public et privé, suggère Greg Colucci, par ailleurs chargé de projet du Centre<br />
Apotex du Centre gériatrique Baycrest, qui accueille des patients en soins<br />
de longue durée et des personnes atteintes de troubles cognitifs, à Toronto.<br />
« En tant qu’architectes, nous avons les compétences nécessaires, nous<br />
comprenons les besoins et nous connaissons tous les types de bâtiments en<br />
question, mais personne ne songe à les rassembler dans un même complexe »,<br />
conclut Greg Colucci.<br />
L’idée d’un carrefour de soins de santé a attiré l’attention et suscité l’intérêt<br />
de certains partenaires éventuels importants, parmi lesquels, Blake Hutcheson,<br />
président et chef de la direction de la promotion immobilière chez Oxford<br />

Washable Flat!<br />
Formulated with leading technologies like ceramic<br />
microspheres, micronized wax, and a new resin that, when<br />
combined in our unique formulation, Ecologic Washable Flat<br />
withstands common household stains, wipes clean without<br />
polishing, is tough - taking on the bumps <strong>of</strong> everyday life -<br />
and it applies like an alkyd from years gone by. With trace<br />
amounts <strong>of</strong> VOCs (less than 2 g/L), it qualifies for LEED ®<br />
credit points and meets the most stringent VOC regulations.<br />
It’s quite simply worlds apart from traditional low sheen and<br />
flat interior paints.<br />
