This month's topic: Health Care Design and LEED® Canada 2009

The Abbotsford Regional Hospital & Cancer Centre is Canada’s first LEED®-NC 1.0 Gold acute care hospital and first LEED® Gold cancer treatment centre.  It was designed and built as a state-of-the-art 60,000 s.m. 300-bed health care facility, and is now operational under a Public Private Partnership agreement, providing specialized health services to more than 330,000 residents in the greater Abbotsford area and the Fraser Valley.  With a unique perspective provided by the Design -Build team comprising the Project Architect /LEED AP and the builder’s M& E Coordinator, the presentation will use this project as a case study to see how LEED Canada 2009-NC can be applied to health care projects seeking Gold certification.
