Architect Ronald McIntyre has joined the Dialog team in Vancouver as healthcare principal. He will be complementing the firm’s healthcare team with more than 25 years of experience as a healthcare architect and strategic advisor.
Most recently, McIntrye has served as one of CannonDesign’s Healthcare Practice leaders for the past 13 years. He is a skilled communicator and believes in a collaborative approach to design and project delivery.
His ability to find solutions for his clients that are creative, functional, and fiscally responsible is one asset among many he offers to Dialog and their clients. While he has worked on projects of all scopes and sizes, his two key areas of focus have been on Alternate Project Delivery (P3) from both the compliance and procurement perspectives and on the strategic rethinking of healthcare delivery at both national and regional health authority levels. His most valuable contribution is as “trusted advisor,” establishing project parameters and key design directions at the beginning of the project process for innovative outcomes and value for money. His experience spans across Western Canada, Ontario, Quebec, and internationally.
“I’m thrilled to join Dialog. To me, the firm has always represented the best of a truly integrated and multi-disciplinary practice. It’s a place where I know I’ll thrive. I look forward to the opportunities to cross-pollinate with peers and leaders in architecture, engineering, interior design, and planning. I have a relentless client focus and feel that Dialog is a terrific firm where I can share my values and pursue extraordinary work within the healthcare sector,” says McIntyre.
Some of his most significant projects include: Royal Jubilee Hospital Patient Care Centre, Victoria; Fort St. John Hospital and Peace Villa, Fort St. John; Bermuda Hospitals Board Estate Master Plan, Bermuda; and Saskatchewan Hospital North Battleford – Facility Advisory Services, North Battleford.
“Ron joins Dialog as an active and inspiring partner who is aligned with our values and commitment to servicing our clients and communities,” says Jim Anderson, firm chair. “We’re very pleased to welcome him aboard.”
