North Bay Regional Health Centre

Being built to replace North Bay's existing hospital facilities, the North Bay Regional Health Centre is comprised of the new North Bay General Hospital and the new Northeast Mental Health Centre. The project is being delivered under the Government of Ontario's Infrastructure Ontario Alternate Financing Program (AFP). PCL has partnered with Plenary Group (Canada) Limited and Johnson Controls LP to deliver this build/finance/operate project.

The new North Bay General Hospital (approximately 500,000 s.f.) will include a larger emergency department with 32 treatment beds; a consolidated ambulatory care centre; and 275 acute care beds. The new Northeast Mental Health Centre (approximately 250,000 s.f.) will be linked to the General Hospital via a shared entrance and common areas. It will include 52 forensic psychiatry beds, 61 specialized mental health beds, a client services mall, gymnasium, workshops, psychiatric offices, and outpatient services.

The building structure is a combination of concrete, structural steel and timber frame. The exterior cladding is a combination of brick, curtainwall and metal siding. The mechanical and electrical systems are fed from a central rooftop penthouse. The project includes construction of all site services, roadways and civil works.

Construction commenced in March 2007 with a project duration of 39 months and is specified to achieve LEED Certified status within a 24-month period after substantial completion.
