The Toronto Rehabilitation Institute's University Centre will be transformed into a contemporary facility with purpose-built environments for patient care, education and research. This planned transformation will involve both demolition and new construction. Through seamless design integration, a new state-of-the-art tower will successfully interconnect to the existing hospital building and house inpatient units, outpatient clinics and therapy areas.

Highlights of the redevelopment project include:

Patient Care:  A new 12-storey tower building will allow for increased outpatient capacity, more spacious and private inpatient rooms, therapy spaces and facilities that are more conducive to rehabilitation and recovery.

Research:  New research laboratories and testing facilities resulting in 54,400 square feet dedicated to house Toronto Rehab's growing research program.

Education:  Dedicated education space to accommodate the increasing number of students who come to Toronto Rehab to complete their clinical training.

PRISM is providing a wide-range of project management services including project budget and schedule, design development, contract document preparation, tender evaluation, contract award, commissioning, occupancy, cost control, value engineering and risk management.

Key elements in the planning and execution of this project will be to minimize disruption of services during the redevelopment phase, provide for planning flexibility, avoid problems and costs associated with the retention of older buildings, assemble a procurement model best suited to manage project risks, and deliver the project on-time and on-budget.
