MISSISSAUGA, ON, Feb. 14, 2017 /CNW/ - Bird Construction Inc.
announced today that it has executed a contract with Fraser Health
through Bird Design-Build Construction Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary, to design and build a new mental health facility and
energy centre at Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster, British Columbia. This news
follows successful negotiations with Fraser Health after being
named preferred proponent in late December
2016. The contract, valued at approximately $200 million, will commence construction in early
2017 and be completed in winter 2019.
This new 75-bed mental health and substance use centre will be a
four storey building with approximately 13,000-square-metres that
will provide both inpatient and outpatient services. The mental
health building will target LEED Gold certification and include a
two level bridge link to the existing hospital with one level for
patient movement and the other for hospital services. In addition,
the building will have a multi-level 450 stall parkade to service
the campus. The energy centre is designed to support the needs of
the existing campus in addition to the new mental health building
and is sized to support future proposed redevelopment phases. It
will also house an IT communication hub which is designed to
support Royal Columbian's future information technology
infrastructure requirements.
