Pemberton Memorial Operating Room, Operating theater in Victoria, Canada

The octagonal brick structure features large windows across six facets and connects to two sterilizing rooms through its northern section.

Built in 1896 with funds from Joseph Pemberton's bequest, this operating room served the Royal Jubilee Hospital until 1925.

The facility reflects the transition from amphitheater-style surgery rooms to specialized medical spaces focused on maintaining sterile conditions.

The operating room includes ceramic tile flooring, plaster walls, and updated plumbing systems designed for maintaining medical cleanliness standards.

Joseph Lister, pioneer of antiseptic surgery, visited and approved the facility's design during his 1897 inspection of North American hospitals.
