TSX, NYSE: STN
Global integrated design firm Stantec was selected
as the prime consultant to provide architectural, interior design,
and building and civil engineering services for the new Queensway
Health Centre in Toronto, Ontario. Part of Trillium Health Partners
(THP), the nine-story, 600,000-square-foot patient tower will
address the needs of the growing community and aging
infrastructure. Once complete, the expansion will offer over 350
beds in a modern, dedicated centre for complex care and
rehabilitation services.
The building design creates a healing environment with access to
daylight and views supporting patients and their families
throughout the patient journey, while offering intuitive wayfinding
that minimizes patient travel within the facility. Landscaped
outdoor spaces will serve as natural extensions of indoor patient
and public spaces providing amenity space for patients, families,
and staff. The building design brings a strong sense of connection
to the community and reinforces the urban fabric.
The new hospital building will connect to the existing hospital
complex via a pedestrian corridor.
New tower welcomes patients and visitorsThe
patient tower will define the northern edge of the Queensway
campus, with the primary hospital building clearly visible from the
north and northwest entrances. With H-shaped floor plates that
reflect the use and clinical functionality of the building, the new
tower rises up nine stories and provides a landmark for the
community.
On the ground floor, public entrances will greet patients,
families, and their visitors with check-in services, waiting areas,
administration support, and retail amenities. Visitors travelling
up the tower experience magnificent views of the city and Etobicoke
Creek as they step off the elevator, they are quickly oriented and
have a clear visual connection to the nursing units.
Abundant outdoor space for respiteTwo
courtyards, one open to the east and one to the west, offer a place
for respite and connection to nature. The east courtyard will be
shared between the public and patients, with the north half
providing a landscaped amenity that respects the privacy of patient
bedrooms with a mix of low stone walls and planting. The south half
is an open landscaped public space with a pedestrian entrance in
the southeast public lobby area.
“In designing Queensway Health Centre, our team is embracing
THP’s values of Compassion, Excellence, and Courage to create a
dynamic, welcoming, and sustainable facility for the community,”
said George Bitsakakis, project principal for Stantec. “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. We’re excited to continue our
work with THP to support the health and well-being of the
community.”
Additional work for Trillium Health PartnersAs
part of the redevelopment at Queensway, Stantec is also designing
minor renovations to the existing hospital. A new central utility
plant provides services to the new tower. In addition to the firm’s
work at the Queensway campus, Stantec is providing planning,
design, and conformance (PDC) services for THP’s new Mississauga
Hospital project. The expanded hospital will significantly increase
bed capacity and will modernize the delivery of healthcare. It will
improve access to specialized health services for the largest
hospital in the province.
Providing care across OntarioThe Queensway
Health Centre is one of several major healthcare projects Stantec
has designed in Ontario in recent years, including Cortellucci
Vaughan Hospital’s new 1.2 million-square-foot facility, Cambridge
Memorial Hospital’s new patient care wing, Brockville General
Hospital’s Phase II Redevelopment Project, and Centre for Addiction
and Mental Health’s Phase 1C Redevelopment. Through the power of
design, Stantec is advancing health and wellness worldwide and
increasing access to critical health services for everyone in the
province.
