Kleysen Institute for Advanced Medicine

The Kleysen Institute for Advanced Medicine houses new technologies and health care research. The new four-story, 110,000 square foot facility contains a cyclotron that is used to create medical isotopes that power advanced imaging devices (such as HSC Winnipeg’s GWL PET-CT Scanner). The second floor (a separate project completed by Wescan 03/13 for 2.7M) is the Centre for Surgical Innovation and is adjacent to the Winnipeg Surgical Intensive Care unit, which utilizes a unique intraoperative MRI system. Wescan installed electrical, communications, fire alarm, and complete wiring of the cyclotron unit. During the later fix up of the Surgical Innovation Centre, Wescan also tied into existing critical systems. Electrical installation for the later surgical research area, intraoperative MRI equipment, and patient care areas was also completed.
