Last week, Trillium Health Partners (THP) announced the Trillium HealthWorks expansion program, which includes major works at two of the three hospital sites under their umbrella in Mississauga and Etobicoke; leaving the most up-to-date site — Credit Valley Hospital — alone for the moment, while totally replacing the Mississauga Hospital on Hurontario Street, and expanding the Queensway Health Centre. We will look at Mississauga Hospital plans tomorrow.
THP cares for more than 1.3 million patients annually, making it one of the busiest health care providers in the country – justifying the need for its expansion projects in order to accommodate the future population increase of the area the sites serve.
The Queensway Health Centre is located in Etobicoke across The West Mall from Sherway Gardens, and overlooking the Etobicoke Creek on the west.
An H-shaped, 8-storey building designed by Stantec at the northeast corner of the site will make up the Queensway Health Centre's expansion. It will be dedicated to complex care and rehabilitation services where patients can receive care and recover in a modern, purpose-built environment. The health centre will retain its existing buildings while the new 600,000 ft² will have space space for over 350 new beds. The new patient tower will link through the McCall Centre for Continuing Care to the rest of the hospital.
The patient care tower will include spacious rooms with private washrooms, therapy gyms equipped with state of the art equipment, and courtyards and walking loops outdoors. Additional outdoor space will be provided on a rooftop terrace, which can be accesses by both staff and patients.
The new development also includes the construction of a brand new above-grade parking structure at the south end of the property, and a visitor parking lot on the north side of the tower.
Construction of the parking structure is expected to commence in 2022, while the construction for the new patient care tower is expected to start in 2024.
We will be back tomorrow to cover the details of the new Mississauga Hospital project.
