Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital

Using modern and proven best practices, the hospital provides state-of-the-art health care and positive outcomes for patients and their families. Through extensive collaboration with the design team, LRI developed an approach to apply the Building Code that not only met the intended level of safety of the prescriptive Code requirements but also considered the operational needs and requirements of the facility’s users. LRI also facilitated several alternative solutions in the complicated design.  Systems and Fire & Life Safety work included a Fire Safety plan, complex fire alarm sequencing, smoke control, fire department dispatch response and communication protocols. LRI’s experience with the design-build of similar, large-scale hospital projects allowed us to help the design team achieve greater design flexibility for current and possible future adaptations while ensuring compliance with Building Code regulations. We relied heavily on our experience working on over 100 hospitals and Long-Term Care facilities across Canada.
