The new hospital will include single inpatient rooms that meet current infection control standards and adjacent therapy and treatment spaces so patients to receive care closer to their rooms. It will also feature on-site clinics for inpatients and outpatients and improved teaching, learning and research facilities that will support Providence Care's role as a major centre for health education and research.
The project will focus on sustainable design and construction, with the goal of achieving Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Silver certification. LEED® buildings focus on healthy indoor environments, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and efficient use of energy, water and other resources.
Once submissions to the request for proposals are received and evaluated, the successful project team is expected to be selected and announced in late 2013. Construction is expected to begin shortly thereafter.
