Cowichan District Replacement Hospital.
Hospital Design, 2023
Cowichan District Replacement Hospital is a Design build project that ZGF Vancouver worked on as the core, shell and sustainability architects. The hospital was designed to be fully electrified using a combination of solar panels and the electric grids in the region.
I had three main tasks for this project, including coming up with a façade panel strategy that looked both random and contained a pattern for installation. I was also responsible for producing the documentation that would get sent out to the installer for ordering panels and for installation. AI and dynamo were used to create randomness on the facades between the four colours of panel, they were tagged and annotated as well as a material key added to the page.
My second task was to start the connection details for the Service Centre. This involved looking at the scope of work to reference what each individual room required for finishes and code considerations. The Stair sections and detailed connection above are all apart of this task.
My third task, which is not documented above, was to document the sustainable decisions made in the project, figure out how far off a zero carbon building we were, calculate the amount of carbon offsets we needed, and source the carbon offsets that met the Zero Carbon Building standards.
