TORONTO, Nov. 8, 2016 /CNW/ - The Canadian Council for Public-Private Partnerships (CCPPP) is proud to announce that the Women's College Hospital Redevelopment Project is the Silver Award recipient in the Project Development category of the 2016 National Awards for Innovation and Excellence in Public-Private Partnerships (P3s).
Women's College Hospital is the first and only independent academic ambulatory care hospital in Ontario and the only hospital in Ontario with a primary focus on women's health.
This new facility was built around specialized operating suites and clinical "neighbourhoods" that integrate treatment, research and education rather than traditional in-patient wards and patient rooms. It allows for more than a 70 per cent increase in patient visits.
The Women's College Hospital Redevelopment involved the construction of a new 630,000 square foot hospital in downtown Toronto. It is a Design Build Finance and Maintain with a total project cost of $ 460 million and a Value for Money saving of $ 86 million.
This is the first social infrastructure project, procured and managed by Infrastructure Ontario, to feature a two-phased approach, enabling physical site transformation while also allowing for continued hospital operation.
The Awards Panel was impressed with the comprehensive community involvement in the module design of the project noting the effective integration of clinical, surgical research and educational facilities
The CCPPP National Awards will be presented on Monday, November 14th, 2016 at the 24th Annual CCPPP National Conference – INNOVATING OUR FUTURE at the Sheraton Centre Hotel in downtown Toronto.
