The lighting design for the SickKids Patient Support Centre (PSC) integrates functionality, wellness, and sustainability to create a dynamic and adaptable environment across its 20-storey, 452,000-square-foot space. Energy-efficient LED systems paired with advanced lighting controls optimize energy consumption while meeting the rigorous requirements for LEED Platinum certification. Thoughtfully designed lighting enhances key areas such as the Learning Institute and Simulation Centre, ensuring precise illumination for hands-on training, collaborative learning, and administrative functions.
Public spaces feature layered lighting strategies, combining ambient and accent lighting to highlight architectural elements and foster a welcoming atmosphere. The pedestrian bridge, connecting the PSC to the Peter Gilgan Centre for Research and Learning, incorporates striking lighting accents that symbolize the link between research and patient care. Outdoor terraced green roofs are subtly lit to provide safe, engaging spaces for staff, aligning with the project’s sustainability and wellness focus. The lighting design not only complements the architecture but also supports the operational and emotional needs of the staff, learners, and patients.
