The Summit: Marian & Jim Sinneave Centre for Youth Resilience
The Summit represents a new era in community-based child and adolescent mental health services, seamlessly integrating three vital services within the existing continuum of care offered by Alberta Health Services. It aspires to empower families by enhancing their access to timely assessments, intervention, and therapy. Nestled in the heart of the city, the new facility stands as a beacon of hope, easily accessible to transportation and educational institutions. Despite facing significant topographical challenges, the design team’s innovative vision has brought to life a stunning three-story structure that caters to the unique needs of every clinical program. Inspired by an "origami" theme, the building boasts a non-institutional aesthetic and a sophisticated color palette, creating a welcoming and visually captivating atmosphere. The commitment to sustainability and community integration further elevates the facility as a shining example for the future.
