Stratford Long-Term Care Home
Stratford, ON
Stratford Long-Term Care Home located in Stratford, ON for peopleCare Communities consists of a 15,058 m², 5-storey residential long-term care facility designed to accommodate a total of 288 beds. The development focuses on providing a comfortable, efficient, and accessible environment for residents, with careful consideration given to both functional layout and operational needs.
From a structural standpoint, the building utilizes a concrete shear wall system for lateral load resistance, selected for its robustness, fire resistance, and suitability for mid-rise construction. The floor system is composed of precast slabs supported by delta beams, W-beams, and HSS columns. This approach was chosen to maintain clear floor-to-floor heights while minimizing structural depth, allowing for efficient integration of mechanical and electrical systems. Additionally, the use of precast elements helps reduce construction time on site, improves quality control, and aligns well with established construction practices and material availability within the province. The building sits on conventional pad and strip footings. The front building canopy is made of conventional steel frames, steel columns on conventional concrete piers and concrete footings.
