Stantec (STN) has been selected to design the new Queensway Health Centre in Toronto.

Part of Trillium Health Partners (THP), the nine-story, 600,000-square-foot patient tower will address the needs of the growing community and ageing infrastructure.

Once complete, the expansion will offer over 350 beds in a modern, dedicated centre for complex care and rehabilitation services.

Stantec will act as the prime consultant on the building project, providing architectural, interior design, and civil engineering services for the new centre.

The patient tower will define the northern edge of the Queensway campus, connecting to the existing hospital complex by a pedestrian corridor. It will feature two courtyards, landscaped outdoor spaces, and a mix of functional and aesthetic design.

George Bitsakakis, project principal for Stantec on the Queensway project, commented,

“We believe that facility design plays a vital role in optimizing patient care and clinical services while creating positive spaces for patients, staff, and the neighboring community,” added Mr. Bitsakakis.

As part of the Queensway project, Stantec will also design minor renovations to the existing Trillium Health Partners hospital, including a new central utility plant to provide services to the new tower.

Stantec has also been asked by THP to plan and design a new Mississauga Hospital project. The expanded hospital will significantly increase bed capacity improve access to specialized health services.
