SETTING

Shriners Hospital for Children

Glen Yards Campus, adjacent to the McGill University Health Centre

The only Shriners hospital in Canada

PLOT

Being at the hospital is not fun, certainly not for a child.  

This hospital’s interiors are sensitive to a child’s experience - 

striving to transport the child to a more amusing and less intimidating setting.  To highlight the fact that this is the only Canadian facility in the Shriners North American network of hospitals, the interior design theme showcases Canada’s unique geographical qualities. The facility’s eight floors each present a different Canadian landscape to be explored by young patients.  The interior design engages the imagination of the child, leading them through the coulours, motifs, textures of each region.

The 180,000 square foot orthopedic pediatric hospital houses 

rehabilitation and ambulatory care services, 4 operating rooms, 22 private patient rooms, a conference centre, a surgical simulation laboratory, a small museum and 2 floors dedicated to research and clinical laboratories.
