PROJECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
EllisDon building $1.2 billion
hospital overlooking Humber
River Valley
West Park Healthcare Centre has
broken ground on a massive new
hospital construction project in
Toronto. The $1.2-billion project will in-
clude a new six-storey hospital
overlooking the Humber River Val-
ley. The hospital, scheduled to open
in 2023, will feature 80 per cent of
the beds in single-patient rooms,
with each inpatient having a private
three-piece washroom for improved
infection control. The campus will
be built on 27 acres.
West Park Foundation has
launched the $80-million Get Your
Life Back Campaign to raise funds
for the new hospital. Phase 1 of the
campaign will raise $50 million by
2023, with the foundation providing
an additional $30 million in support
to the new hospital over the next 30
years. EllisDon Infrastructure Health-
care has been awarded a fixed-price
contract to design, build, finance
and maintain the new hospital.
WW+P designing two Yonge
Subway Extension stations
Weston Williamson + Partners
says that it will design two of the
five new metro stations on the
Yonge Subway Extension (YSE) in
Toronto and York Region.
Yonge St. is the economic and
cultural spine of Toronto and York
Region and the Line 1-Yonge Univer-
sity subway is the busiest rapid
transit line in Canada. The YSE will
stretch from Finch Station in
Toronto north to Richmond Hill, a
total of 7.4 kilometres.
Both of the WW+P stations, at
Clark and Langstaff, will be
tunnel/bore construction with box
stations. There will be intermodal
interchanges at each and at
Langstaff there will be parking pro-
vision for 2,000 cars.
“We are excited to be contribut-
ing two stations and their associ-
ated urban realm to this fantastic
project. By improving connectivity
across the Greater Toronto Area,
the extension will also unlock thou-
sands of new homes and jobs in
the area,” senior partner and archi-
tecture project director Christian
Bocci said in a prepared statement.
The YSE is expected to carry
165,000 passengers per day on the
latest Toronto Rocket six-car trains.
