CW Healthy Minds, BC Children’s Hospital

The CAPE Unit at the Healthy Minds building in Children’s and Women’s Hospital is undergoing renovations to create a safer and more welcoming patient environment. The project includes upgrades to patient rooms, common areas, and the third-floor nursing station, improving functionality and comfort for both patients and staff.

Salas O’Brien provided mechanical, electrical, lighting, and security design services for the renovation. Key upgrades include new tamper-proof patient rooms with floor-to-ceiling padding, upgraded windows with built-in electric blinds, and a redesigned nursing station access window. Additional enhancements involve HVAC rebalancing, lighting and power upgrades, and security improvements.

This renovation supports the hospital’s ongoing commitment to patient care by modernizing spaces and integrating safety-focused design elements.
