Hamilton Health Sciences Corporation David Braley Cardiac, Vascular and Stroke Research Institute
The Cardiac, Vascular and Stroke Research Institute is a major addition to the Hamilton Health Sciences Corporation on the Hamilton General Hospital Campus.
This building has a total area of 165,000 SF over 5 floors, and functions as Cardiac and Vascular Labs (40%) and offices (60%).
The rectangular building plan is oriented on the east-west axis and overlooks a landscaped central green space on the west, used by both Rehabilitation (current MSA project) and Research Institute occupants. The west facing glazed office section of the Research Building is separated from the east facing lab section by an interior atrium space that is intended to bring ample light and fresh air into the interior spaces, allowing the building to be pleasant and healthy for staff and visitors. A green roof sunshades west and south facades and is combined with an energy-efficient building envelope.
