Wood’s Homes - Bowness Campus

Wood’s Homes is a nationally-recognized children’s mental health centre based in Calgary, Alberta. Established in 1914 by the Reverend George W. Wood, Wood’s Homes currently provides programs and services to over 20,000 children and their families across Alberta every year.

Located on a steeply sloped site at the edge of Canada’s most eastern Douglas Fir forest, the Bowness Campus currently comprises a series of residential and service-based buildings aimed at creating a safe and welcoming environment for families. Wood’s Homes contacted Hindle Architects in 2017 to begin the process of creating a new residential service centre for the program. Aimed at creating a place of safety and healing for children and their families, the new facility will incorporate a range of therapy spaces, medical rooms, staff services, family rooms, and private rooms for children to call home.
