Request for qualifications released for new Mackenzie Vaughan Hospital

Infrastructure Ontario and Mackenzie Health have issued a request for qualifications to design, build, finance and maintain a new hospital in Vaughan, Ont.

The request for qualifications is the first step in the process to select a team for the project. After reviewing submissions, a shortlist of construction teams will be invited to respond to a request for proposals in the fall of 2014. 

The new hospital will be located at Major Mackenzie Drive and Jane Street, just north of Toronto, and will include:

• A state-of-the-art emergency department
• Modern surgical services and operating rooms
• Acute inpatient and intensive care beds
• Technologically-advanced diagnostic imaging
• Specialized ambulatory clinics
• Single acute care patient rooms for infection prevention and control
• A flexible design to permit adaptation over time as new thinking and best practices emerge
