SMP Engineering designed integrated hospital technology systems for Edmonton's Gene Zwozdesky Centre, enhancing patient care with advanced communication and security features in a multi-phase redevelopment project.
Recently completed, Phase 1 of the Gene Zwozdesky Centre (CapitalCare Norwood Redevelopment Project) consisted of a new seven-storey tower, which houses 234 complex continuing care and post-acute care beds.
Incorporating the latest in Hospital Technology Systems, the integration allows nurse call, Vocera Staff Communication, IP-based Intercom, security, card access, CCTV, wireless lighting control, elevator control, building automation, and fire alarm systems to communicate with each other to implement the various functions required for a positive patient and staff experience.
Phase 2 of the redevelopment project will include demolition of the Norwood North and CHOICE buildings, renovation to the existing Angus McGuggan building, and a new parking structure for EMS vehicles — all of which are expected to be completed in 2025.
