Get a behind-the-scenes look at the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT), one of the largest health science education simulation centers in North America designed by Stantec.

The British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) wanted to create one of the largest health science education simulation centers in North America with a goal of providing world-class heath science education for over 7,000 future healthcare providers every year. Stantec's multi-disciplinary team created a facility that would consolidate 32 programs under one roof and create a physical manifestation of inter-professional education.

The new facility is an energy efficient, low-carbon emission building that places student wellness at the forefront. The project has achieved WELL pre-certification and is targeting Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Gold Certification.

Get a behind-the-scenes look at this innovative, new space that is helping to equip the next generation of healthcare practitioners through thoughtful and sustainable design strategies.
