The contract to build the new $460-million
Women's College Hospital has been awarded to a consortium including architectural firms
Perkins Eastman Black and the
IBI Group, and developer Bilfinger Berger Project Investments.
Known collectively as the Women's College Partnership, the group will design, build, finance and maintain the project, which is a redevelopment of the current hospital at 76 Grenville Street.
The new hospital will be 630,000 square feet, with the first phase scheduled to commence construction this summer, and the second phase slated for completion in 2016. The project will be funded by
Infrastructure Ontario.
Marilyn Emery, the hospital's president and CEO, described the project in a press release as a "state-of-the-art facility will be an easily accessible hub of programs, clinics and services that integrates care, research and education � all based on how women lead their lives. It will be a hospital designed to keep people out of the hospital."
