Casey House Renovation and Expansion

Toronto, Canada

Casey House, a specialized healthcare facility for individuals with HIV/AIDS, undertook an extensive renovation and expansion of their existing heritage-designated building.

Located in downtown Toronto, the Casey House project involved renovating the historic mansion currently on the site and connecting it with an environmentally advanced, state-of-the-art new hospital housing 14 sub-acute patient rooms, along with a variety of outpatient supportive health services. The new facility allows for the introduction of a substantial HIV/AIDS Day Health Program that services 200 registered clients.

The substantial addition brings much-needed space and modernized amenities while embracing the existing heritage building and providing a private sanctuary for clients to promote healing and emotional well-being. The building design grants sufficient space to client and administrative areas, reception, as well as a dining room, communal spaces, basement, parking, and storage.
