Infrastructure Ontario and St. Michael's Hospital recently invited three shortlisted teams to submit request for proposals (RFP) for the hospital’s renewal project.  

The three companies were selected from a December 2012 request for qualifications. The firms have been shortlisted because they have the development, design, construction and financial capacity to undertake the large and complex project.

The three companies submitting RFPs are:

  • St. Michael’s Partnership: Bonfield Construction Company Limited, NORR Limited/Farrow Partnership, Rocklyn Capital Inc.
  • Integrated Team Solutions: EllisDon Corporation, Kasian Architecture, EllisDon Capital Inc./Fengate Capital Inc.
  • PCL Partnerships: PCL Constructors Canada Inc., B+H Architects/Silver Thomas Hanley, TD Securities Inc.

Patient beds from St. Michael’s Hospital’s 85-year-old wing will be relocated to a new tower. The tower will provide larger space for programs that treat critically ill patients around Ontario. These programs include patients from the medical-surgical intensive care unit and the largest adult cystic fibrosis program in North America.

The renovation includes five new hybrid operating rooms with state-of-the-art medical imaging equipment. The operating rooms will allow surgeons to perform both minimally invasive, image-guided or catheter-based procedures and open surgery in the same room.

Redevelopment work will also provide expanded, state-of-the-art inpatient facilities for orthopedic surgery, oncology and respirology, as well as critical care space for the coronary and medical-surgical units.

The current emergency department will also be expanded. It was originally designed to accommodate 45,000 patient visits a year, but now accommodates more than 70,000 a year - a number that continues to grow with the population. This expansion will allow St. Michael's to continue to fulfill its mandate as a regional trauma centre.

Infrastructure Ontario and the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care are working with St. Michael's Hospital to expand and renovate the hospital, which will remain publicly owned and controlled.
