Each team was responsible for envisioning one of four areas. These areas included:
- The LRT
- The front entry
- The emergency department
- A patient’s room.
Each team, then, cut out photos from magazines and built a vision board of their assigned area.
Several themes emerged from these visions boards including:
- Hope
- A connection to nature
- A sense of security and warmth
- A pathway to wellness
Some of the more specific details that emerged included the need for natural light, warm colours, plants, wood elements, artwork, and designing spaces for cold climates.
At the next meeting (Thursday, February 14), the architectural team will review the workshop input and present these design and operational principles.

Site Location
The new state-of-the-art hospital for south Edmonton will be built near the corner of Ellerslie Road and 127 Street SW. This 320-acre site was chosen because it can accommodate a health campus. Its proximity to Anthony Henday Drive and the Queen Elizabeth II highway makes it easily accessible. Current LRT planning includes expansion to the site before 2040.
