Moss Sund collaborated with Guelph General Hospital to convert a 1960s vehicle maintenance training facility into a contemporary community healthcare clinic. Phase 1 involved a 1,300 m² renovation supporting diagnostic imaging services, including MRI, ultrasound, X-ray, BMD, and mammography. The project was delivered on an accelerated 12-month timeline, including both design and construction, to meet critical funding requirements.

Phase 2, which will support ambulatory care services including fracture and endoscopy clinics, is currently in design with construction scheduled to begin in fall 2026.

Our second MRI project for Windsor Regional Hospital at their Ouellette Campus included the complete renovation of a former decommissioned MRI suite. The project included patient and tech support areas. Taking advantage of the existing curtain wall, we were able to bring natural light into all areas. The MRI suite required a new chiller and air handling unit. Working closely with the hospital and consulting team, a new elevated steel equipment platform was provided for the new mechanical systems.

MOSS SUND has been involved in creating MRI Suites for over 15 years. MRI Scan rooms are unique from other diagnostic rooms in that only non-ferromagnetic materials can be used, the walls require Radiofrequency (RF) shielding, and in some instances magnetic shielding to contain the magnet’s 5 Gauss (.5mT) line within the scan room. Also known as the pacemaker safety line, 5 Gauss and below are considered ‘safe’ levels of static magnetic field exposure. In addition, there are many mechanical and electrical services requirements, including emergency helium exhaust and vent. 

We were thrilled to be invited to provide our architectural expertise for a new dual MRI suite at Joseph Brant Hospital. The project entailed a new 3.0T MRI Scan Room, renovation of the existing 1.5T magnet scan room and the creation of a shared control room. 

The project’s construction occurred in 2 phases to allow the Hospital to maintain provision of patient care. The existing 1.5T MRI scan room had to stay operational during the construction of the new 3.0T MRI suite, and the newly constructed 3.0T MRI needed to stay operational during the renovation of the existing 1.5T MRI. 

During the project, we used a few design tools including a rendered video walk-thru, to assist the Hospital’s stakeholders to visualize and make design decisions, from flooring and millwork, to cryo vent roof supports. Working in close collaboration and communications with this fantastic project team, kept the project moving forward to meet timelines and create a thoughtful design for a practical environment.

Princess Margaret Hospital entrusted our team with the renovation of its advanced radiotherapy treatment department, including Vaults 1, 3, and 4, and their MRgRT Suite. Through close collaboration with PMH stakeholders, the design integrated complex and diverse treatment modalities for enhanced clinical efficiency and patient experience. 

Vaults 1, 3, and 4, involved the installation of cutting-edge radiation treatment equipment – the Varian Halcyon, TrueBeam Linear Accelerator, and Ethos systems—within a unified, high-performance clinical environment.

The adjacent MRgRT Suite involved the renovation of Vault 2, the MRI scan room, the Brachytherapy Room, alongside thoughtfully integrated control, patient changing, and waiting areas.

Grey Bruce Health Services

Grey Bruce Health Services previously operated a single MRI suite. Working closely with the hospital, we incorporated a second MRI scan room within a space that was previously a physiotherapy room, and also upgraded the existing MRI scan room. The project was completed in two phases: first renovating the physiotherapy room to create a new MRI suite with patient support spaces for both MRI scan rooms; then reworking the original MRI suite for a second magnet.

A Busy cardiologist came to us with a signed lease wanting to build a cardiology clinic in a new condo building.  Pressure was on.

Located in the St. Clair and Bathurst area on the main level of a new condominium tower, the design of the Toronto Cardiac Clinic combined a welcoming, accessible, reception and waiting area, with the extensive technical requirements of a fully functioning cardiac clinic, including exam rooms, Stress ECHO and ECHO rooms, nuclear cardiology camera room, hot lab, hot stress and hot waiting areas. Balancing budget expectations, technical requirements and a tight timeline, MOSS SUND designed a clinic that exceeded the expectations of Toronto Cardiac Clinic team and their patients.
