The Ontario government has officially broken ground on the new Humber River Regional Hospital, under construction by a consortium that includes PCL Constructors, in the Toronto neighbourhood of Downsview.
The site is near an existing Ministry of Transportation complex, north of Highway 401 and west of Keele Street. The value of the contract with Plenary Health Care Partnerships in today's dollars is about $1.75 billion.
Provincial politicians and hospital executives gathered with shovels for a photo opportunity Friday.
Plenary Health Care Partnerships is the consortium, which includes Plenary Group (Canada) Inc., HCP Social Infrastructure (Canada) Ltd., Innisfree Ltd., HDR Architects, C.F. Moller Architects, PCL Constructors, Johnson Controls LP and RBC Capital Markets.
The contract with Infrastructure Ontario includes the design and construction of the hospital, building maintenance, repair and project financing.
Construction on the 1.6-million-square-foot hospital is scheduled for completion by the spring of 2015.
The provincial government stated in a press release that at the “peak of construction,” Plenary Health Care Partnerships estimates more than 1,200 workers will be on site daily.
It will have 656 beds, whereas the three current sites of Humber River Regional have a combined total of 549 beds.
The current locations are the former Humber Memorial Hospital on Church Street in the former town of Weston, near Jane Street and Highway 400. The former York-Finch hospital is on the south side of Finch Avenue east of Highway 400 and the former Northwestern General hospital is on the east side of Keele Street between Eglinton and Lawrence Avenues, about three kilometers south of the site of the new hospital.
The developer is aiming for a silver certification under Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).
