Overview

Project overview

The Scarborough Academy of Medicine and Integrated Health (SAMIH) project is a dynamic initiative aimed at establishing a vital training facility for medical and healthcare professionals. It's designed to integrate residents into future healthcare developments and foster connections between local institutions and the diverse Scarborough community. This endeavor will serve as a central hub for healthcare education and enhance collaboration among regional healthcare providers.

Additionally, the building's innovative BIPV facade, covering around 63,000 SQFT, will harness solar technology for energy production. This feature will not only meet a portion of the building's energy needs but also lower its carbon footprint.

Solar Facade

Our Solar Facades are designed to effortlessly substitute your building's existing facade, transforming it into a dynamic solar energy-harvesting surface. At the heart of each panel lies a sturdy aluminum honeycomb core, coupled with a layer of high-performance solar cells, making every piece an efficient source of renewable energy.

Overtop the energy generating layer is the customizable exterior– a versatile canvas that can recreate any pattern or color. This adaptability allows the fusion of aesthetically pleasing architectural solar facades with the functional benefits of BIPV technology. It’s a harmonious blend of form and function, bringing to life facades that not only captivate the eye but also contribute positively to the environment.
