“Working with an architect I knew…they understood the college’s aspirations and core values. It was important to work with architects I had worked with in the past, and knowing the extent of their expertise, was valuable and very important. Not just the architectural input into the scheme but it was the landscape, planning and interior architecture that made the scheme a success.”

“It is a real honour to have our project recognized, particularly in this city where there is so much innovative development going on. It is testament to the skills of our architect, IBI Group, who has done the almost impossible task of creating a modern, efficient, fit-for-purpose hospital out of a structure that was built in a time when electric lights were considered to be cutting-edge technology."

“To get this rating (BREEAM Very Good) in a new build is challenging but in a building that is over a hundred years old and was never intended for anything other than storage is exceptional. The challenges they have overcome are jaw-dropping."

“IBI Group has gone beyond traditional design services to support the essential community development work which has taken community interest and concern for improving end of life care from concept to reality; supporting Hospice Kingston representatives, caregivers, residents and families on a journey of exploration and affirmation to inform the design of the new facility that will improve access to end-of-life-care. Throughout all phases of the project, IBI Group has been central to creating the reality of our hospice residence, always dedicated and committed to the needs of Hospice Kingston. I would strongly recommend IBI Group to other hospice and healthcare organizations to help realize their project vision and goals.”

"We involved IBI Group in our initial work shop and we can see how it influenced their designs. But it’s not just the architecture – that level of detail is evident everywhere. IBI truly understood the importance of bringing light, colour and texture to our ward."
