Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital
With Saskatchewan as one of only two provinces in Canada without a dedicated children’s hospital, it didn’t take long to realize that children and families needed more. They deserved a special “family-centred” space of their own, with leading-edge research, specialized equipment and programs. In 2009, the Government of Saskatchewan committed $200 million for the new provincial Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital.

The Project

The Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital is located on the University of Saskatchewan campus and is connected via a corridor to the Royal University Hospital

While half of the total population lives in Saskatoon, where the project is co-located with the Royal University Hospital campus, many indigenous groups inhabit the northern half of the province. Given that these remote communities must travel long distances to receive care and yet they make up a large segment of the hospital’s patient population, it was critical to solicit their input on the building’s design.

OUR TEAM WORKED WITH …

The Architect

ZGF | Vancouver

Part of what draws us to design is our deep desire to effect positive change. Three core principles drive ZGF’s work: making a difference in people’s lives, fighting climate change, and advancing social justice.

Through design, we strive to create places that enable diverse and equitable communities. We support a world that is just, guided by open and intelligent discourse, mutual understanding, and respect for all people. Now more than ever, we seek not only to uphold our values, but we’re redoubling our commitment to them as we face a new generation of challenges.

We keep equity and inclusion at the forefront of our design process, engaging diverse voices and partnerships. We are as proud of our internal Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives as our external outreach.
