Construction Highlights

Exterior

Though the main focus is on the interior, there is still work to be done outside. This month, construction crews were:

  • Grading the correct elevation for the new road in front of the new main entrance (across from the Long-Term Care Centre)

  • Completing the installation of white stone on the Outpatient Block section that extends beyond the core of the building is complete

  • Installing footings for the canopy columns in front of the main entrance

  • Prepping the area around the underground parking garage for landscaping

  • Erecting steel support structures for the installation of the dust collector for Prosthetics & Orthotics on the rooftop

      • Interior

      As EllisDon continues to make progress floor-by-floor, here are a few notable and tangible accomplishments: 

      • With electrical, internet and other cables installed above the ceilings in B1, ceiling tiles are now beginning to be placed

      • Skylights have been installed above the Feature Stair on Level 1

      • Flooring has begun in the units on Level 2

      • Painters have begun painting Level 3

      • Acrovyn – wall protection that is durable, easy-to-clean and aesthetically pleasing – are being installed in the inpatient rooms

          Construction Camera

          Much to the disappointment of many of our patients, family members and staff, the live feed camera has been down the past month due to technical issues. 

          Thank you to everyone who reached out. It’s assuring to know how many people are interested in watching the live feed camera!

          EllisDon and West Park are working to get this resolved. We thank you for your ongoing patience!

          Colour Reveal

          In the new hospital, each floor will have its own distinct, accent colour to help patients and visitors locate their destinations.
