CANON Amstelveen | Medical academy & offices

Customer needs

Canon Medical wanted an office that was not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. They sought a design that would set them apart in their industry, with space for the development of new technologies and a working environment that would encourage innovation. In addition, the new academy had to have radiation-proof rooms specifically for training technicians and doctors in the use of medical equipment. Future growth was also taken into account so that the facility could adapt to new developments and expansions.

Our approach
INTOS was involved in the project from the initial phase. Through close cooperation with Canon Medical and regular construction partners, we ensured that the project fully met the client's ambitions.

Our approach consisted of:

• Design and preparation: Together with Canon Medical and the project management office, we worked on the design and layout of the facility. We provided spot plans and estimates and helped translate technical and functional requirements into practical building solutions.
• Project realisation: The office was given a contemporary look with angular shapes and colourful accents, designed to create a modern and inspiring working environment. The academy, an empty 50×50-metre hall, was completely converted into a training centre. This included rooms with radiation protection facilities, training rooms and medical equipment demonstration areas.
• Coordination and construction management: INTOS acted as coordinating contractor and worked with trusted construction partners, including system builders, painters and installers.

The construction period covered about three-quarters of a year, but with the preparations and planning phase included, the project was in progress for a total of three and a half years.

Delivered result
The project resulted in an impressive facility that fully aligns with the vision and goals of Canon Europe and Canon Medical. The new location combines a modern office environment with an advanced training centre that welcomes medical professionals and technicians from around the world. Here they are trained in the use, maintenance and installation of advanced medical equipment.

Highlights of the project:

• Realisation of radiation-proof training rooms designed for medical equipment.
• A contemporary office with a focus on design and collaboration.
• A successful collaboration with Canon Medical and regular construction partners, resulting in an efficient construction process and a high-quality end result.
