Infrastructure Ontario (IO) and Michael Garron Hospital (formerly Toronto East General Hospital), a division of Toronto East Health Network, shortlisted three companies to design, build and finance the new patient care tower project at the hospital. Based on a request for qualifications process that began in June 2016, Walsh Toronto East Health Partners was shortlisted for the RFP stage.
The project involves the construction of a new eight-story patient care tower and separate three-story connection, as well as demolition of some existing space and renovations to the existing hospital. Approximately 550,000 square feet of the hospital will be redeveloped, including:
Replacement of the oldest beds in the medical/surgical and rehabilitation units
Replacement of the mental health inpatient units for adult and child/youth care
Consolidation of ambulatory care and ambulatory procedures
Creation of two levels of underground parking and a new main entrance
Accommodation of other administrative and support services needed to support the clinical services
The project also involves renovation of approximately 100,000 square feet of select areas within the existing hospital. The redevelopment project will enable the delivery of efficient, accessible, high-quality patient care, while replacing some of the oldest spaces in the hospital.
