elegance was no small feat. One standout feature is the reinforced exterior windows designed to withstand up to 2,000 pounds of force, ensuring patient safety. Additionally, inpatient bedrooms were equipped with pick-proof caulking and utilities that could be independently controlled by nursing staff, minimizing risks of flooding or harm. The center also boasts two Circadian Sleep Rooms, where patients requiring isolation from light and sound for up to 72 hours can still receive necessary care. “These specialized spaces reflect our commitment to balancing cutting-edge medical requirements with patient comfort,” says Rabindran. “The building is designed to support an additional four floors while maintaining operations below”. OVERCOMING CONSTRUCTION CHALLENGES As with any large-scale construction project, challenges were inevitable. The team faced union strikes, adverse weather, unforeseen site conditions, and COVID-19-related supply chain delays. Nevertheless, “We executed weekend and evening work to compensate for delays and conducted focused meetings with subject matter experts to resolve issues,” says Rabindran. “Our collaboration with Maystar General Contracting, their subtrades, and consultants was crucial in overcoming these challenges.” 43 FEB 2025 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
