Description

This Infrastructure Ontario project was created to provide significantly improved facilities for a “new model of care”. The redevelopment of the 27-acre campus at 1001 Queen Street West achieved LEED Gold certification. The Bell Gateway Building includes a gym, administration offices, treatment rooms, professional offices, cafe, and kitchen facility. The Intergenerational Wellness Centre includes 60 client rooms, administration offices and treatment rooms to be used for CAMH’s unique approach to Child, Youth, Family and Geriatric Mental Health Program integration. The Utilities and Parking Building is a multi-level parking facility with the main campus Central Utility Plant. The heart of mechanical heating and cooling, steam and electrical backup generation are located in this structure. Services are connected to each building via multiple underground tunnels. The Insight Team was responsible for the pursuit, design and construction oversight.
