Medical clinics in Ontario must satisfy a layered approval process involving municipal building authorities, public health units and provincial health ministry guidelines. Hexa Build has direct experience coordinating all of these submissions and knows what each authority requires to approve a clinical facility.
Spaces Designed Around Clinical Workflow
CSA Z8000-informed room sizing, OBC-compliant hand-wash stations and IPAC-compliant clinical surface finishes.
Staff hubs designed for efficient patient flow, clear sightlines and secure medication storage meeting Ontario standards.
Appropriate ventilation rates, clinical lighting, IPAC finishes and proper equipment clearances per OBC and CSA guidelines.
In-clinic lab spaces with proper plumbing, ventilation and biohazard waste management meeting Ontario Environmental Protection Act requirements.
AODA-compliant patient areas with separated acute and general waiting where required by public health guidelines.
OBC and AODA-compliant accessible washrooms and patient privacy design throughout the clinic.
We Navigate Every Approval So Your Clinic Opens on Time
Medical clinic projects require coordination between building authorities, public health units and provincial health ministry guidelines. Canadian standards lead on every project.
