Altro creates a positive experience at a Canadian surgical hospital

Altro Whiterock PopArt

Toronto, Ontario, Canada - Clearpoint Health Network is Canada’s largest independent healthcare service provider focused on surgical services. Led by a team of industry leaders, Clearpoint is committed to providing the highest quality of patient care to Canadians across its platform, which spans from British Columbia to Quebec.

Working alongside Clearpoint Health Network and facility project managers, C& Partners was retained to design a new location for their Clearpoint Surgical Toronto hospital. The project aimed to create a cohesive layout for patient diagnostics, consultation, surgery, and recovery in one clinic.

C& Partners was looking for a wall protection product that is durable, easy to clean, seamless look and provides an aesthetic finish while maintaining IPAC standards in a healthcare setting. We chose Altro as a wall protection solution for its wide selection of products and its versatile application in healthcare settings.

Clearpoint Surgical desired to provide a biophilic experience that encourages spatial fluidity for all users through salutogenic design. To meet this objective, C& Partners selected Altro Whiterock PopArt to provide an aesthetic finish in the surgical suites by overlaying wall graphics depicting natural scenes to ease patient anxiety. This product provided the right visual with a strong balance of hygiene and durability.

“We designed each OR to depict various scenes of nature to help the surgeons differentiate the spaces and create unique experiences throughout the design. Altro’s versatile product allowed us to further customize our wall protection solution to accomplish our design goals and we were able to efficiently coordinate with Altro to ensure the colour, size, and layout of each wall graphic met our design expectations” Aaron Cheng, Partner at C& Partners Architects.

The Altro graphical wall panels are well-loved among the staff and help to create a positive experience for both patients and surgeons. The wall panels help to modernize the space and establish Clearpoint Health Network as a leading surgical facility in North America.
