The Ottawa Hospital is one step closer to opening one of the largest and most advanced hospitals in Canada that will serve Ottawa, Eastern Ontario, Western Quebec, and parts of Nunavut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this spring, the hospital submitted stage 2 of the Capital Planning Process for its new Civic development to the Ontario Ministry of Health. As part of this submission, the hospital is now pleased to share with the public the proposed design of the cutting-edge new campus that will be situated near Dow\u2019s Lake at the foot of Ottawa\u2019s Rideau Canal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Civic development, slated to open in 2028, will be a state-of-the-art facility, home to the most advanced trauma centre, one of the most innovative neuroscience research programs in the world and will have some of the most advanced digital technology to enable medical personnel to provide patients with the most effective new treatments and services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople in our region will come to this new facility for compassionate, skilled care,\u201d said Katherine Cotton, Chair of The Ottawa Hospital\u2019s Board of Governors. \u201cThe new treatments and technologies that will be used and developed here will save lives and advance and revolutionize health care. This hospital is the future of health care.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main hospital building, including the Emergency Department, inpatient and outpatient clinics, will sit on the top of the escarpment across from Dow\u2019s Lake. Additional clinic space, medical offices, research and education buildings, and a parking garage will be located on the lower portion of the site, all connected to the nearby LRT station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patients and visitors driving to the site will enter from Carling Avenue and follow a short driveway up the escarpment to a circular drop-off at the front door. The same driveway will have a turnoff for the Emergency Department, located one floor beneath grade below the front door, under a covered green roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Separate, dedicated entrances are planned for emergency vehicles, staff, materials management and servicing to allow for efficient traffic flow through the site and on surrounding roadways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to move forward with the next stages of the new Civic development. This development will be a pivotal marker for the transformation of health care for the Ottawa region for generations to come\u201d said Cameron Love, President and CEO of The Ottawa Hospital. \u201cWe will continue to work closely with our municipal, provincial and federal governments as well as our community, throughout this stage of planning. We\u2019re very grateful for their partnership and support as we move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public consultation will take place in the coming months in Ottawa and across the region to enable members of the public to ask questions and provide feedback on the proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the course of construction, the project will help to drive the regional economy by creating an estimated 20,000 jobs, as well as ancillary businesses, research and training opportunities, and health investments. After opening, will create a world-class health-care system in Eastern Ontario that will attract health-care providers, researchers and students from around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
