Transforming anatomical sciences education

Looking to provide better opportunities for their students, the University of Manitoba embarked on a mission to revolutionize their anatomical sciences education by renovating the Dr. George Yee Laboratory. Our team was there to help them make it happen.

The renovation aimed to create a modern facility that would enhance the learning experience for students and support cutting-edge research. Our design team collaborated closely with the University to understand their vision and requirements. Through innovative design and meticulous planning, we successfully transformed the laboratory into a modern, flexible, and technologically advanced space. One of the key challenges was to make sure that the new laboratory would accommodate the latest teaching methodologies and research techniques. By incorporating advanced audiovisual systems, adaptable workstations, and specialized equipment, the renovation resulted in a dynamic environment that fosters interactive learning and facilitates important research and collaboration.

The successful completion of the Dr. George Yee Laboratory renovation has significantly enhanced the University's capacity to educate future health sciences professionals and conduct innovative research with the support of modern technology. The new lab also provides faculty and clinicians with the tools to offer distance education and the facilities to host national conferences.
