Project Summary
BC Children’s and BC Women’s are recognized for providing high-quality patient care. Although Children’s and Women’s provides excellent care, existing hospital facilities were not designed to accommodate the latest medical technologies or the current volume of patients, which increases every year.
The Relocation, Renovation and Demolition (Phase 1) of the BC Children’s and BC Women’s Redevelopment Project got underway in September 2010. This project will see the construction of a major new acute care and diagnostic services hospital and other improvements to the Oak Street campus, to ensure that Children’s and Women’s have the facilities they need to maintain the highest standards of patient care well into the future.
The Redevelopment Project is expected to take six years to complete and has been organized for implementation in three phases:
Relocation, Renovation & Demolition (Phase 1)
Phase 1 includes site preparations for the new hospital and additional space for the UBC Faculty of Medicine MD Program and construction of a new clinical support building and free-standing child daycare centre.
Since September 2010, three new Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU) beds have been added.
Construction of the new Acute Care Centre (Phase 2)
The new Acute Care Centre will contain:
- New Emergency Department,
- Sterile Processing Department;
- Medical Imaging Department;
- New 70-bed Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and labour/delivery suite;
- 28 Bed Pediatric Intensive Care Unit;
- Three floors of private rooms for inpatients including one floor for a oncology unit with adjacent oncology outpatient programs;
- Additional underground parking stalls and
- Additional academic space in new clinical spaces.
Renovation & Expansion (Phase 3)
Phase 3 includes renovations to the existing hospital buildings for use by BC Women’s and Sunny Hill programs.
