After a building condition assessment determined that Portage la Prairie’s existing acute care hospital was obsolete and unable to reinstate, the Government of Manitoba retained ft3, A49, and Huddy Healthcare Solutions to develop a new healthcare facility in the region.

Since 2001, the City of Winkler and its catchment area have experienced considerable population growth, including an aging population that requires a wider range of healthcare services from Boundary Trails Health Centre.

ft3 led the redevelopment and expansion of St. Boniface Hospital’s Emergency Department (ED) by outlining and implementing a four-step master plan for realizing the new, state-of-the-art facility.

As part of the Clinical and Preventative Services Plan (CPSP), Shared Health engaged ft3 to conduct a study providing recommendations to determine healthcare needs in Dauphin and the surrounding region.

Prairie Mountain Health engaged ft3 to deliver architecture, landscape, and interior design services for the new Dauphin Regional Health Centre Emergency Department and the redevelopment of the Special Care Unit.

When visits to the Grace Hospital's Emergency Department (ED) increased by 18% in one year, the Province of Manitoba recognized the need for a new, modernized emergency department to improve patient experience and flow. 

Retained by Prime Consultant (Kasian Architects Interior Designers & Planners), the project goal was to develop the applied design concepts for the Outpatient Clinic and Administration Services areas.
