PROJECT COMPLETE: SICKKIDS PATIENT SUPPORT CENTRE

We're proud to report that our construction team has received a certificate of substantial completion for the work we delivered onsite at the SickKids Patient Support Centre!

The substantial completion of the SickKids Patient Support Centre (PSC) marks a significant milestone in Project Horizon. This much larger, 15-year campus redevelopment project will shape the future of pediatric care as we know it. With its innovative cross-campus connections—which include a pedestrian bridge to the main hospital and a link to SickKids Research Institute—this new 22-storey education, training, and administrative hub unifies modern design and purposeful integration. The new PSC will be home to the SickKids Learning Institute; with state-of-the-art tools like the Simulation Centre, the facility will help ensure the hospital's practitioners actively remain at the forefront of pediatric care.

Plan Group's scope of work was pivotal in bringing the PSC to life as the Electrical and Technology subcontractors on this project. From the optimized routing of conduit and communication cables to the intricate installation of state-of-the-art security devices and artisanal Italian light fixtures, our team ensured every detail met the highest standards. Our expertise guaranteed that every component of the facility's Electrical and Technology infrastructure met precise standards, providing a fully functional, cohesive system.

THE PLAN GROUP DIFFERENCE

Delivering A Fully Integrated Building Intelligence Platform

As the project's Master Technology Integrator (MIT), Plan Group Technology worked closely with Sick Kids to design, install, and seamlessly integrate a state-of-the-art Building Intelligence Platform with customized use case integrations. (IBP).

Conceptualized with scalability and flexibility in mind, the IBP we delivered is a consolidated interface that collects and processes building information from multiple sources across various systems. The innovative technology will allow users to monitor analytics and manage building data from one centralized location. Highlights of this integration include innovations such as the People Counting System, offering real-time space usage insights; Room Scheduling Integration, streamlining meeting space efficiency; and a proactive Automation of Work Orders, optimizing facility management.

"The most challenging aspect was ensuring we could identify and capture the distinct needs of the end users within each user group. We prioritized establishing mutual priority requirements to ensure alignment with scope and feasibility, all while managing expectations and thoughtfully navigating the complexities of catering to large groups of individuals."

Nick Palmieri – Technology Project Manager

The advanced IBD we brought to life at the SickKids Patient Support Centre exemplifies how Plan Group's forward-thinking approach seamlessly aligns with the evolving landscape of SMART-building technology.

POWERED BY PRECISION

Our Comprehensive Electrical Solution

As Electrical Subcontractors for this project, our scope was broad and intricate. Our electrical solution included incorporating a ground grid within the slab on grade, complete with bare riser conductors leading to the main electrical room as stipulated by the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC). Additionally, the building was outfitted with an insulated ground riser safeguarding the IT Communication Network and a rooftop lightning protection system to shield the structure from potential strikes during storms. From essential power and LV units to security and CCTV setups, we spent around 300 person-hours installing hundreds of various devices throughout the building. Additionally, we delivered the facility's conduit and raceways while diligently routing fire alarms and security cabling. All these tasks enabled us to get the facility's electrical systems up and running smoothly.

TOGETHER, WE THRIVE

Most importantly, we want to thank and congratulate the entire team on successfully delivering this significant project. Your hard work, combined talents, and commitment to excellence have made the SickKids PSC Project a noteworthy example of Plan Group's capabilities. We would also like to give a special acknowledgment to our technology and electrical team leads. Their relentless commitment, attention to detail, and overall leadership were instrumental in ensuring the facility's Building Intelligence Platform and Electrical infrastructure were delivered precisely and efficiently.

The diligent efforts of all those involved in the delivery of this project have helped to ensure the SickKids PSC Project will stand as a benchmark of Plan Group's excellence and innovation for years to come!

Another job well done, #TeamPlanGroup!

Hello everyone,

With 2022 right around the corner I find myself reflecting on the past year, and it’s no secret we have accomplished a great deal. In facing numerous challenges, we produced extraordinary work for our clients and strong results

for ourselves. Nothing stood in our way as we delivered on promises and found innovative solutions when the going got tough.

Year over year we have made significant improvements to the way we service our clients, manage our projects, and to our overall performance. Your hard work has not gone unnoticed. I’ve said before, I am inspired by Team Plan Group’s resilience and determination; always looking to do what’s right for our clients, our business and, most importantly, each other.

Thank you.

Looking ahead, I am excited about our pipeline and energized by the fantastic talent I meet every day across the organization. While 2022 will bring its share of challenges, the opportunities to go further together and make clients’ boldest visions possible continue to grow.

Our future is bright.

Please take time to relax over the holiday, put the phone down and recharge.

All the best to you and your families,

Project Update

Project Win! Centennial College’s Mass Timber Building

In honour of Earth Week, we’re announcing one of our most sustainable Mechanical project wins to date.

We’re proud to announce our partnership with EllisDon, Smith + Andersen, DIALOG and Smoke Architecture to construct the first zero-carbon, mass timber higher-education building in the country!

This 136,000 sq ft extension of the A-Block Building at Centennial College’s Progress Campus in Scarborough, Ontario is deeply committed to social responsibility. Every corner of the building has been designed to highlight the College’s commitment to both Indigenous Truth and Reconciliation, and leading-edge sustainability, as it is set to achieve LEED Gold Status and WELL Silver certification, a new and growing standard for human health and well-being.

Plan Group is responsible for installing the mechanical systems that will contribute to the building’s sustainability in a big way. Recycling, reducing and reusing will be done whenever possible;

• Runoff and rainwater will be captured and reused for irrigation;
  
• The roof will be home to solar panels that will preheat domestic water for distribution throughout the building, and;
  
• A heat recovery wheel will reclaim energy from exhaust and other systems to warm the building throughout the winter.
