EllisDon and PCL Construction (ED+PCL Healthcare Partners) has won a C$13.9bn ($10.15bn) contract to design, construct, finance and maintain The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital and Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children in Canada.

The facility is set to serve Mississauga and surrounding regions.

The contract was awarded by Infrastructure Ontario (IO), the Ontario provincial government, and Trillium Health Partners (THP), which caters to 1.7 million patients a year.

The new 22-storey facility, encompassing 2.8 million square feet, is set to replace the current Mississauga Hospital.

It is designed to meet the evolving healthcare needs of the community and will feature more than 950 beds and house Ontario’s inaugural women’s and children’s hospital.

The facility will be equipped with modern technology and infrastructure to adhere to the latest standards in infection prevention and control.

In addition to advanced diagnostic imaging facilities, the hospital will include a new pharmacy, clinical laboratory, and an emergency department.

The design also incorporates two levels of underground parking, which are not included in the hospital’s total square footage.

Substantial preparatory work, such as utilities and road realignment, has already been finished on-site during the DPA stage.

THP president and CEO Karli Farrow said: “The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital and the Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children will serve as state-of-the-art hubs for advanced, digitally connected care – seamlessly linked across the health system, from family doctors to home and long-term care – to put people at the centre.

“Through deep collaboration and shared purpose between THP, IO and ED+PCL Healthcare Partners, we are prioritising the patient and provider experience while maximising efficiency and cost effectiveness.”

Construction is scheduled to begin in mid-2025, with the transformation of the site leading up to the expected completion date in April 2033.
