The project consists of an existing building and a new addition, which houses the Paramedic’s state of the art 911 Communication Centre in the Ottawa region.
The Communication Centre was structurally designed to meet post disaster requirements.
The interior planning of the Communication Centre is a Process-Driven Design to suit the new 24/7 operational model for the Paramedics. The existing building is fully renovated and technically upgraded to accommodate the consolidation of groups which includes the Ministry of Health’s Sub-Field Hospital, Regional Paramedic Provider of Eastern Ontario, and Ottawa Paramedics Services in shared Training Facilities and Common Amenity spaces. The flow of circulation was vital in the success of the design. Widen corridors at strategic location double as informal break-out spaces.
The design of OCACC was derived in close consultation with the Ottawa Paramedics and the City of Ottawa, with significant input from the Ontario Ministry of Health. Requirements and functionalities were thoroughly worked out with the end user to achieve a high degree of planning success and a “operation-driven” layout in the Communication Centre.
