The 730,000 square foot hospital building will provide assorted inpatient, outpatient and outreach services. Eighty percent of the beds will be in single patient rooms. Sustainable features will include an expansion of green space and major landscaping for outdoor therapy areas and therapeutic gardens will also be incorporated. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification will be emphasized. Work is scheduled to begin right away and substantial completion should be in early 2023.
According to DataBid, the project will include the demolition of three existing hospital buildings and construction of the new six story hospital to replace the aging facilities. EllisDon expects the project to create 500 jobs during peak construction.
Per Canadian Consulting Engineer, the fixed-price contract for $1.2 billion will reflect the payments to be made during construction, the substantial completion payment, and the facility maintenance payments over 30 years. The redevelopment will revamp West Park's 27 acre site into a unified campus to meet Ontario's future health care needs. There will also be a new campus entrance that will involve new public and private roads within the campus. It will also include an extension of utility services and the construction of more parking spaces.
