The Ronald McDonald House is located at 407 Smyth Road on the CHEO campus and serves the families who are being treated at this hospital. The purpose of this expansion is to create a new, accessible, addition that will add 22 suites and common areas to our existing house.
The addition is a three storey building designed with a flat roof to accommodate storm water management needs and the installation of solar photovoltaics. Although a storey taller than the original building, the overall building heights are similar due to the large peaked roof on the original buidling.
The original main entrance will be maintained. The two buildings will be joined together by a short link to preserve the geometry of each building. The addition will extend away from the existing then form an “L” to the east. This configuration creates a centre courtyard at the front of the building.
