The 13,000-square-metre, six-storey building provides both inpatient and outpatient services. Construction included a two-level bridge link to the existing hospital with one level for patient movement and the other for hospital services. The building also has a multi-level 450-stall underground parkade to service the campus.
Bird’s comprehensive design-build experience ensured that the post-disaster classified building would achieve LEED®enregistré Gold certification. Bird delivered the energy centre that is designed to support the needs of the existing campus in addition to the new mental health building, and is sized to support future proposed redevelopment phases. It also houses an IT communication hub that can support Royal Columbian’s future information technology infrastructure requirements.
Extensive management of the works was required due to the site being located within an existing operational healthcare campus. Close liaison with the operating hospital and comprehensive stakeholder engagement were key to the success of the project.
