“Critical health infrastructure, like Trillium Health Partners’ Mississauga site, are essential to advance quality healthcare in Ontario and keep our diverse communities healthy,” said Stantec principal a

“We are exceptionally proud to design a place which enhances community cohesion and where patients feel welcomed, safe, and comforted while receiving advanced care.”

At approximately 2.8 million square feet and 24 storeys, the Mississauga site will be the largest hospital in Canada – triple the size of the existing building with more than 950 beds. The number of operating rooms will increase to 23, up from the current 14.

THP’s emergency department, one of the busiest in Canada, will also be expanded, along with advanced diagnostic imaging facilities and a new pharmacy and clinical laboratory.

The provincial government is funding two major infrastructure projects at THP – the complete replacement of the Mississauga Hospital and an expansion of the Queensway Health Centre.

An expansion at Queensway Health Centre will include a modern, dedicated centre for complex care and rehabilitation services to relieve capacity pressure at the Credit Valley Hospital. The first phase includes a 632-bed long-term care home that will be operated by Partners Community Health.

Future phases include a residential hospice built and operated by Heart House Hospice, and a health services building.

Over the last 20 years, THP’s catchment population has grown equivalent to the size of an entire city

“This is an exciting day for Trillium Health Partners and for this community. Today’s announcement is an important milestone in advancing Trillium Health Partners’ strategy, as we work towards creating a new kind of health care for a healthier community, and deliver the care this community needs and deserves for years to come,” Michele Darling, board chair, Trillium Health Partners said in December 2021.

Stantec’s previous work for THP includes the Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital, a 1.2 million-square-foot facility, Cambridge Memorial Hospital’s new patient care wing, Brockville General Hospital’s Phase 2 Complex Continuing Care, Mental Health, and Rehabilitation project, and Centre for Addiction and Mental Health’s Phase 1C Redevelopment.
