Burnaby Hospital Redevelopment Tender

Location Burnaby Scope Burnaby Hospital is getting a 1.3-billion redevelopment including two new towers and a new expanded emergency department. The project will see 400 new beds added to the facility along with a new cancer treatment centre. The redevelopment will leave the city with what amounts to a virtually new facility. The development will occur in phases in terms of investments that are made initially to build some new infrastructure and then we will demolish some of the oldest infrastructure that currently exists. The majority will be new and a small proportion that will be existing that will be updated. The completed project will see the ER expanded to 62 bays up from the current 47. It will also nearly double the number of operating rooms from the current five to nine. The new facility will also have 18 new pre- and post-operative recovery spaces added. Construction will begin in 2021 on the first new six-storey tower which will have 78 beds an upgraded mental health and substance use inpatient unit and a new maternity ward. The first new tower is slated to open in 2023. Construction on the second tower is slated to begin in 2024 and wrap up by 2027.
