of Education. Moving forward, under the banner of McK Architecture, the firm intends to maintain that focus – as government work is both consistent and rewarding. “There’s always lots of work going on within the healthcare industry because of the rapidly changing dynamics of how healthcare is delivered,” Scott explains. “The methodologies evolve, the equipment evolves, so there’s always something happening.” “Because it’s an ever-evolving industry, it’s also very interesting work,” he adds. “Some of the stuff we did back in the day that was cutting-edge now feels almost archaic. So we’re constantly learning and trying new things. That keeps our team motivated.” Within their healthcare niche, Scott believes what sets McK Architecture apart is both the experience of their staff – he’s personally been designing healthcare facilities for over 30 years – and the size of their staff. “We’re a smaller firm, so the people with the most experience are heavily involved in all the projects,” he says. “And we’ve had really, really good employee retention – people here who have been with us for 19 years, 15 years, many who have been here 10 years. So the depth of experience travels well past the senior staff. All of us are very adept to the requirements for healthcare architecture and the work we do at the university.” GENERAL CONTRACTING | PROJECT MANAGEMENT | CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT | DESIGN BUILD | DESIGN BUILD FINANCE Transforming Visions into Buildings.® Buttcon is a proudly Canadian, employee-owned construction company with offices in Toronto, Ottawa, and Calgary.
