  • Significant increase in outpatient care space to accommodate current and new services such as geriatric clinics, a day hospital, and satellite hemodialysis.
  • Demolition of three existing hospital buildings - Main, Ruddy and Gage - as well as the existing maintenance buildings.
  • New campus entrance with new public and private roads within the campus.
  • Increased green space, landscaping for outdoor therapy, therapeutic gardens, walking paths and courtyards, plus terraces on every floor.
  • Designed to be a pandemic-ready hospital with its innovative HVAC system that will circulate 100 per cent fresh air into the building.

Community and Green Benefits

  • The project will adhere to the guidelines and sustainability principles of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) rating system, with a goal of achieving the LEED®Silver certification or higher. LEED buildings focus on healthy indoor environments, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and efficient use of energy, water and other resources.
  • Expansion of green space and extensive landscaping for outdoor therapy areas and therapeutic gardens.
  • The new hospital will extend beyond the walls, connecting indoor and outdoor therapeutic environments that enable staff to seamlessly deliver exemplary care. Unique outdoor therapy courtyards, sensory gardens and a network of multi-surface paths will create a sustainable ecosystem connecting nature into the building design and treatment protocols, and patient experience.
  • The new hospital will incorporate accessible and senior-friendly design principles, inclusive and useable by all.
  • The project includes a community benefits program focused on apprenticeship and employment, training and workforce development and social enterprise and local procurement opportunities.

Economic Benefits

The West Park Healthcare Centre Redevelopment is a significant economic opportunity for local suppliers and contractors. At the peak of construction, EllisDon Infrastructure Healthcare estimates that more than 500 people will be on site daily.
