The Royal Columbian Hospital redevelopment is a three-phase, multi-year project that will increase the hospital’s capacity by approximately 50%, help ease congestion, introduce advanced medical technologies and improve the health care environment for staff and patients. Phase 1’s new Mental Health and Substance Use Wellness Centre opened in August 2020. Phase 2 of the project is now under construction. In 2021, we began excavation, demolished some older buildings and opened an interim support building to house support services during construction of the new Acute Care Tower. Milestones in 2022 will focus on Phase 2 and will include completion of: Phase 2 design; demolition; Campus Communications Hub preliminary works; Energy Centre preliminary works; substructure concrete; level 0 floor slab; and steel superstructure. Also in 2022, we expect to complete the schematic design for Phase 3.
