EllisDon team picked to lead CHEO 1Door4Care project
Infrastructure Ontario (IO) and CHEO have announced that they have chosen EllisDon Infrastructure Healthcare (EDIH) to design, build and finance the hospital’s 1Door4Care Integrated Treatment Centre in Ottawa.
The announcement follows a request for proposal process that began last November.
The new treatment centre will merge seven care locations, currently leased and spread across Ottawa, into a single, state-of-the-art, purpose-built site on CHEO’s main Smyth Road campus.
The new site will include multi-use clinic space, a physiotherapy rehab gym, expanded mental health clinics, indoor and outdoor space where teachers and therapists combine education and therapy, secure space for children and youth with complex emotional needs, modern treatment rooms for kids with behavioural needs, advanced technology to enable virtual care, a physical link to the main building on campus, family support spaces, a new parking structure, and more.
The EllisDon Infrastructure Healthcare team also includes designers Montgomery Sisam Architects Inc., Vertechs Design Inc., WalterFedy, Mulvey & Banani International Inc., H. H. Angus and Associates Limited, and Entuitive Corporation
IO and CHEO will now work to finalize contract details with EDIH. The project is expected to reach financial close in the coming weeks, at which point the contract cost will be announced and construction will start.
IO’s most recent P3 Market Update report values the 1Door4Care project at between $200 million and $499 million.
