$160 million, phase 1
2010, phase 1
37,989 S.M.
PLC’s multi-phase project incorporates a new
seven storey east addition to accommodate
additional patient beds, regional labs and
emergency. Major renovations to the existing
facility have upgraded and expanded surgical
suites, mental health, transplant and renal
facilities. The PLC is a 2 Phase project that has
included an initial planning, functional program,
site and facility master plan review stage. The
building’s phasing and decanting strategy
has played a critical role in the success of the
construction process, ensuring that the hospital
remained operational throughout the course of
the project.
My primary role on this project focused on
the design of the new Power Plant, retrofitting
the existing plant, the completion of the new
Parkade, staging of the temporary emergency
entry, and the preparation, and decanting of
the link to the existing Hospital. The work on
the link needed to be carried out in the midst of
an operational emergency department.
