These websites should give a good idea about the concept of the hospital and what it plans to achieve.

Sustainable Hospital Design.

The Project will involve a renovation of the Peter Lougheed Hospital. A number of different sustainable designs features are going to be incorportated into the such as using fly ash as aggregate ( for more information on using alternative materials for aggegrate in concrete check out Dave Denison's blog @ http://concreteasaggregate.blogspot.com/).

Hey Bert,
My mom works at the Royal Inland Hospital here in town. If you want, I can get some contact information for you in terms of the recent renovations that were done to the RIH. You could find out if sustainable hospital design has influenced their renovations and if they came across any problems while renovations? It's just a thought, so let me know what you think.
Thanks Scotty that would be really helpful to talk to someone about this. Im sure your Mom has lots to say on this.
Hey man. Thanks for the help! Thought I'd return the favour and see what I could dig up for you. These websites should be helpful:

The American Institute of Architects (AIA)put out a document titled: Guidelines for Design and Construction of Hospital and Health Care Facilities. I think you should definately give it a try. It can be bought at: http://www.constructionbook.com/xq/ASP/ProductID.3459/id.454/qx/default2.htm. Seriously, this sounds like it could really help.
Wow, thanks a lot Curt. Ill see what i can do about getting that book. Maybe i can get the library to get it for...maybe they have it already.
