ClientHolland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital

An addition and renovation to the Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital has expanded their facilities and raised the profile of the Bloorview Research Institute (BRI) in partnership with the University of Toronto, to further ground-breaking research in pediatric rehabilitation. The elevated two-storey addition expands the research space and overlooks the ravine, optimizing views and access to natural light. The renovation reimagines the existing fourth-floor home of the BRI, creating a modern, open work environment that maximizes opportunities for collaboration.
