West Park Healthcare Centre

The new West Park Healthcare Centre transforms a 27-acre campus in West Toronto into an integrated “campus of care.” The 730,000-sq.-ft. hospital delivers specialized rehabilitation, complex continuing care and community health services in a nature-inspired environment designed to promote the psychological and emotional well-being of patients.

Key features include:

• Three interconnected wings housing 314 beds, with 80% single rooms for improved infection control
• An ambulatory care wing that doubles the previous outpatient capacity
• Therapeutic gardens, courtyards and walking trails
• Renewed green spaces and a new campus entrance

The project included demolishing existing structures to make way for the new facility. As prime consultant for the planning, design and compliance (PDC) team, HOK developed comprehensive guidelines and performance requirements. The team created a designer’s toolkit and established planning principles to guide decision-making.

HOK’s work shaped the building’s architecture, landscape design, interiors and sustainability strategies, targeting LEED Silver certification. The team also defined the contractors’ scope through building information modeling (BIM) and technical output specifications.
