1.Beaches Condominium

The lobby in this building had become outdated. Atmosphere Facility Planning Solutions worked with the client to refurbish the common areas including the lobby, elevator and hallways to give it a new updated look.
Millwork, furniture, artwork, finishes and lighting were specified which resulted in a finished space that reflects the quality of this beautiful residential building.

2. St. Joseph Scollard Hall Secondary School

This client came to us with the challenge of redesigning a section of their cafeteria to accommodate a “store front” where students would sell school gear and nutritious snacks and also have a space to lounge and socialize.
We chose a “wave shape” theme for the overall design of the project. The style of furniture and design of the store front depicted this theme. Colours and upholstery fabric were chosen with young users and the school’s current colour in mind. The store front millwork was designed to accommodate a space for a POS system that is barrier free on both sides for customers as well as store clerks.
Renderings of our proposed conceptual plan were presented with our design being accepted and implemented. AFPS provided Construction Documentation, Space Planning, Finish Specifications and all furnishings.

3. Dent’s Camera Centre

Along with other businesses on Oak Street, this well known retail landmark needed a fresh new look. AFPS developed a new façade concept. The work included a Feasibility Study, Functional Programming, Space Planning, Construction Documentation of the building façade and renovation of the interior retail space – approximately 900 square feet.

4. Mattawa General Hospital

As project manager of the hospital redevelopment, AFPS’s involvement started with the Sketch Plan Phase through to construction. AFPS’s responsibility was to ensure that the clients requirements were reflected in the consultants work (Architects, Engineers, Functional Programmers and Cost Consultant) AFPS coordinated all space and equipment requirements, met with the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, developed response for proposals; in general, was part of the team that ensured that the new facility was a well designed, functional and cost efficient building.
AFPS coordinated the selection and procurement of all of the facility’s new furniture, Wayfinding, and completely managed their relocation from their old site to the new location. The new hospital opened in October 2008.
During the year following the opening, the MGH Emergency Services relocated to the new hospital. AFPS provided Construction Documents and Space Planning for the renovated space.
AFPS continued to work with the hospital on projects including the development of their Warranty and Manual, a necessary Procedural manual for Emergency Situations, Space Planning, and other related work.

4. The North Bay Pediatric Group Inc.

Atmosphere Facility Planning Solutions was retained by The North Bay General Hospital to work as consultants with the five pediatricians and their administration staff that were located at the existing Scollard Site.
The physicians had a goal to make the changes necessary to realign their practice into more of a group or clinic structure and they also needed to prepare for relocation into the new One Kid’s Place facility.
AFPS worked closely with the pediatricians and their staff to define the necessary steps and assist them through each phase of their transition which included Relocation Planning & Management, office policies and procedures development, Space Planning and Furniture and Equipment Specification.
In October of 2009, the North Bay Pediatric Group Inc. moved successfully into their new location at One Kid’s Place.
