EllisDon tapped to lead West Lincoln Memorial Hospital Redevelopment
EllisDon has been chosen to lead construction of the West Lincoln Memorial Hospital (WLMH) Redevelopment project.
Infrastructure Ontario (IO) and Hamilton Health Sciences announced on April 29 that they had awarded a fixed-price contract of $224 million to EllisDon Infrastructure Healthcare (EDIH) to design, build and finance the project.
The EllisDon team also includes Parkin Architects Limited.
The redevelopment project will involve the construction of a new, larger hospital on the property behind the existing facility.
The project is being delivered using a design-build-finance model, which IO says typically delivers savings in the range of 10% to 15% compared to undertaking the same projects using traditional delivery models.
EDIH will now mobilize on site and construction will begin in late spring 2022. Construction is expected to be complete in winter 2025.
