Toronto Humber River Hospital | ?m | 14s | HRRH | HDR

Why are these two projects in the same thread? They are two distinct projects, by two different teams and general contractors. The Hospital and OFSC are also managed by two distinct entities, so I don't understand the crossover.

Forensics Services / Coroners Complex was built by Carillion and designed by Stantec Architecture. Managed by the Ontario Forensic Pathology Service.

Humber River Regional Hospital is being built with a P3, featuring Plenary Health and PCL as GC. Building is designed by HDR Architects. Hospital to be managed by Humber River Regional Hospital. The hospital is also to be 14 stories to the roof of the tower.

I agree they should be separate threads (and I did look into it), but it's a tad difficult to pull them apart now. It's Downsview and there are few people giving regular updates compared to downtown condo threads. I'll give it another look and see what can be done, might mean some duplicate posts in two separate threads.

Some posts have been copied and are in both threads to minimize disruption of either thread, particuarly some photo updates.

Taken a couple weeks ago. I didn't know the parking structure was complete. And you can see the Forensic building peaking out behind it.

University Affiliation Announced

The new Humber Hospital has announced its affiliation with Queen's University's ( of Kingston!) reputed medical school. http://www.newswire.ca/en/story/119...-potential-opportunities-that-may-be-provided

The hospital already had in place an existing affiliation with UofT but I think this latest announcement - with an institution located outside of the GTA - is likely a first of sorts.

When is this slated to be completed?

The release states a completion date of 2015.

That's a coup for Queen's. First fully digital hospital in North America? Good on them.

Passing by on the 401 earlier today, and they have installed some really colourful cladding on the southern facade on the lower floors. Sorry no pics

Thanks wopchop - the art piece turned out really well!

Agreed - that's some of the best glass art in the city, and it goes a long way to humanizing that behemoth of a building. We'll have to find out more about the work.

Coroner's Complex and new hospital:

Coroner's complex is appropriately morbid.
