To design, build, finance and maintain the new Phase 1 Patient Tower Project at Etobicoke General Hospital. This is a part of a phased EGH Redevelopment Plan. It involves the construction of a new patient care wing (the Patient Care Wing) including a new main entrance and lobby, as an addition to the existing EGH, incorporating public spaces connected to the ravine landscape and community, creating a new public face for this important community institution. The four-storey, new Patient Care Wing, which is expected to be approx 250,000 sq ft, will be attached directly to the existing EGH patient tower and podium, at multiple levels, for patient transfer. It is expected that the Patient Care Wing will achieve LEED Silver certification (2009). The new Patient Care Wing will accommodate acute and sub-specialty clinical services, support services as well as administrative services. Some features of the project include: - a larger, state-of-the-art emergency department to support best practices in emergency care; - an ICU/CCU that is nearly four times larger than the current space. Larger patient rooms will be filled with natural light and provide privacy and space to comfortably accommodate family members; - a maternal newborn unit with birthing suites and a specialized Level II nursery; - an ambulatory procedures unit featuring procedure/operating rooms, pre and post-op preparation and recovery areas and dedicated clinic spaces, including a respiratory clinic.
