Grandview Kids project reaches substantial completion
Infrastructure Ontario (IO) and Grandview Kids have announced substantial completion of work on the Grandview Children’s Centre Redevelopment project.
Over the next several months, Grandview Kids will begin a transition period, which includes transitioning operations from other sites to the new location. Doors will open officially later this fall.
In April 2022, IO and Grandview Kids awarded a fixed-price contract of $85.3 million to a consortium jointly led by Amico Design Build Inc. and Sacyr Construction S.A to design, build and finance the project.
Construction work started in September 2022.
The New Grandview Kids headquarters will include centre-wide therapy services, such as occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech-language pathology, therapeutic recreation, audiology, infant hearing, blind low vision and social work. It will also offer autism services, a preschool outreach program, school-based rehabilitation services, developmental pediatrics, including specialized medical clinics, and family/caregiver resources and support. The building will be home to the Grandview School, as well as a branch of the Ajax Public Library branch.
The facility consolidates the hospital’s existing Oshawa headquarters with several satellite locations into a single building in Ajax. The new facility will enable Grandview Kids to expand and enhance existing services and introduce new ones.
Meanwhile, Grandview Kids will maintain three satellite locations in Clarington, Port Perry and Oshawa and its partnership with the Whitby Abilities Centre to reduce travel times for some clients and caregivers.
