Cannon Design to lead Joseph Brant Memorial Hospital redevelopment project
Joseph Brant Memorial Hospital in Ontario, Canada has chosen Toronto architectural firm Cannon Design for a major expansion work.
This is the hospital’s first major redevelopment in more than 40 years. Cannon Design will undertake the design of a six-storey patient care tower and significant renovations to the existing space at the 51-year-old lakeside medical facility.
The redevelopment and expansion project will include 77 additional inpatient beds; expansion of the diagnostic imaging and medical diagnostics unit; new operating rooms, post-anaesthetic care unit and expanded ambulatory procedures area; new ambulatory care and cancer centre; new main entrance; and a new laboratory.
The project will also include the construction of a new, independent power plant that will serve the expanded facility. The hospital is also aspiring LEED Silver certification for the new facility.
The renovation project will complete by 2018.
