The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital project in partnership with Infrastructure Ontario (IO) and Trillium Health Partners (THP), ED+PCL Healthcare Partners are proud to announce that the Trillium ED/PCL JV partnership has begun executing the Enabling Works. These works will prepare the site for the new Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital project. This is a significant milestone in the project, indicating the progress towards the construction of the hospital.

“In connection with the innovative Development Phase Agreement, Enabling Works encapsulates all the preparatory work required for the site to be ready for construction to take place,” said Andrew Anderson, Senior Vice President & Area Manager, Toronto, EllisDon. “This is a significant step forward in the development of this new state-of-the-art facility that will service the growing needs of the community of Mississauga. ED+PCL Healthcare Partners, as well as our consortium partners, are thrilled with the progress to date, and look forward to continuing to build on the success of our collaborative efforts and support THP and IO to bring this vital hospital to fruition.”

“As we progress through the Development Phase, the Trillium ED/PCL JV partnership is thrilled to begin Enabling Works, preparing the site to advance critical work on the new Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital,” said Marc Pascoli, Senior Vice President and District Manager, PCL Constructors Canada Inc. “Reaching this major milestone is a result of the outstanding commitment and collaboration between THP, IO, EllisDon, PCL and our expert health care design and construction consultants. We look forward to the next stages of our partnership to help bring THP’s vision for this important healthcare project to life.”

A large and essential undertaking, Enabling Works will bring substantial changes to the project site before excavation and construction. Along with the systematic demolition of three buildings throughout the next several months, there will be major efforts made to remove and relocate site utilities, realign site roads, and create new temporary construction roads to prepare the site’s footprint for the next phase of construction.

Under the Development Phase Agreement, ED+PCL Healthcare Partners are working alongside IO, THP and the Ministry of Health to collaboratively develop the project requirements, design, pricing, schedule, and risk management for The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital. The start of Enabling Works is a successful outcome of that collaboration and advances the project closer to the completion of the agreement.

The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital will allow THP to better respond to future health care challenges and will feature modern hospital facilities and technology that reflect the latest standards in infection prevention and control. Set to fully replace the existing Mississauga Hospital and planned to become the largest hospital in Canada, the new hospital is intended to be Ontario’s first women and children hospital. It will include advanced diagnostic imaging facilities, a new pharmacy and clinical laboratory as well as an expanded emergency department; slated to be one of the largest in the province.
