Architects are hosting stakeholder workshops this week to complete the final design for the new Markdale hospital.
It's a chance to review former input and revisions one last time.
They'll complete the layout of medical equipment and final selection of interior and exterior finishes.
The mechanical, electrical, and IT services required for each room will be reviewed to ensure operational needs are met and are compliant with all applicable codes, safety and infection control standards.
The Stage 3.2 plans will be submitted to the Ministry of Health this summer, and once approved, the building specifications will be prepared for contractors to bid on construction
Construction is expected to begin in 2020 and will take two years to complete.
“The feedback from the workshops so far has been very positive. Our healthcare providers who use the medical equipment are engaged in ensuring that the space functions efficiently and effectively for patient care and staff workflows,” said Lance Thurston, president and CEO of GBHS. “This is going to be a wonderful new hospital for Centre Grey.”
