Building design and pre-construction activities are underway at the Clinical Support and Support and Research Centre (CSRC) at the new St. Paul’s Hospital on the Jim Pattison Medical Campus in Vancouver. Providence Health Care has selected Diamond Schmitt Architects and Kirsten Reite Architecture as the Prime Consultant team to lead the design of the CSRC. In addition, PCL Construction has been selected as the Construction Manager to oversee all pre-construction and construction aspects of the project. 

“The design approach to St. Paul’s Hospital’s new Clinical Support and Research Centre creates a gateway to the health care campus. Designed as an innovation hub focused on providing flexible clinical spaces and lab spaces to support advancements in life sciences research and cross-disciplinary collaborations, the center is also envisioned as a community hub and crossroads. A new civic plaza, large outdoor terraces on upper floors, and interconnected spaces will enhance accessibility and establish a truly integrated health care facility – a vibrant place of science and social activity in downtown Vancouver,” says Don Schmitt, Principal at Diamond Schmitt.

The CSRC will be approximately 34,400 square meters in size and connected with a sky bridge to the new St. Paul’s Hospital, which is under construction. The facility will house key research centers, programs, and specialty physician practices to enhance overall patient care in alignment with the government’s commitment to research and healthcare.
