The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre (PMCC) Space Transformation Project is a complete overhaul of PMCC’s ground floor, as well as select staff work areas. HPA’s approach to the Transformation Project prioritizes the patient experience, emphasizing that patients are at the centre of their individual treatment plans and are partners in their care. Beautiful, uplifting spaces empower patients and their families through the use of light, landscape, art, and materials.
With multiple entrances and passageways, navigating the existing ground floor had become a challenge due to additions and changes made over time on an as-needed basis. HPA’s design enhances wayfinding and allows for effortless navigation through the new, open-concept space. The ground floor of PMCC is where the journey toward healing begins. The warm and welcoming environment serves as a restorative setting for patient care, with dignified, de-institutionalized spaces that reflect the level of personalized care Princess Margaret delivers. Amenities and services support a range of patient needs, creating an environment where one can comfortably spend the day.
