The intent of the proposal is to develop the lands at 1380 Upper Canada Drive for a 2 storey medical building, the Panorama Medical Centre, with a footprint of approximately 1110 m2 (11950 ft2) and a total GFA of approximately 1974 m2 (21250 ft2) with a proposed 82 parking spaces. The medical centre will contain both medical labs, medical practitioners and a pharmacy. At this point in time, the intent is to have a full service pharmacy, a general practitioner (family doctor), a gynecologist and a diagnostic testing facility on the ground floor with a cardiologist clinic and other related medical space on the 2nd (upper) level.
The architecture is intended to evoke wellness, a reflection of the building’s use. This is conveyed through the use of materiality and colouring in natural palettes including elements of wood patterning, soft beige metal cladding, in the soft (blue/green) accent colours of the spandrel glazing, as well as through organic forms, including the playful weave detailing on the façade and fenestration. Window mullions would compliment this softness by themselves being anodized aluminum in colour.
