EllisDon Corporation and Parkin Architects Western Ltd. were awarded a $1.4 billion contract in 2022 to design and construct a 204-bed acute care hospital in North Cowichan, BC. The 56,448-square-metre facility will include seven operating rooms, expanded emergency and diagnostic imaging departments, and outpatient clinics, addressing future regional healthcare needs.

Delivered under a Public-Private Partnership (P3) using an Alliance model, the project is led by Island Health and the Province of British Columbia. Legal advisors include Borden Ladner Gervais LLP for the designers and Norton Rose Fulbright for the project owner.

The project exemplifies modern healthcare infrastructure and collaborative delivery.
