BOS Studio is leading the architectural vision and governance strategy, coordinating with health authorities, municipal leaders, and private partners to ensure early clarity, risk management, and long-term viability.
The project combines medium- and long-term rental apartments for healthcare workers with a community centre, early childcare facilities, and public amenities, creating a campus model that integrates healthcare outcomes with community development. Our process began with a front-end study to identify stakeholder needs, followed by the development of phased concepts and business case inputs to align funding and delivery strategies.
Combining governance strategy with design leadership.
Strategic design approach: tying together housing, healthcare, and community services into a holistic hub. By combining governance strategy with design leadership, BOS Studio is building strong regional support for a project that promises not only to fill immediate housing gaps, but to strengthen Dawson Creek’s long-term social and economic resilience.
