Infrastructure Ontario announced Diamond Schmitt Architects and DIALOG Ontario Inc. will lead the planning and design of the Queen/Victoria redevelopment project. The two companies, in partnership, will develop the guidelines and requirements that design-build-finance contractor groups will bid their designs against.
The two partners, known as the planning, design and compliance (PDC) team, will also ensure that construction and commissioning activities comply with design and quality requirements.
The Queen/Victoria Redevelopment project will include a new 17 storey patient-care tower at Queen and Victoria Streets and the renovation of about 150,000 square feet of space within the hospital. Patient beds and programs from some of the oldest areas will be relocated to the new space.
