Together, we are designing a new kind of healthcare that puts the focus on your health and well-being.
The South Niagara Site will embody a campus environment that fosters a community of connected care, will advance the boundaries of healing, and transform your experience in healthcare.
Project Goals
WELL® Certified Healthcare Facility
The South Niagara Site is working toward being the first WELL® certified hospital in Canada – focused on the health and well-being of our staff, physicians, volunteers, patients, families and caregivers and the Niagara community.
PROJECT GOALS
Community Engagement
Since March 2020 we have undergone significant consultation and engagement with staff, physicians, patients and community partners to design the new South Niagara Hospital, which will be located at the corner of Montrose and Biggar roads in Niagara Falls. There are over 15,000 pages of criteria detailing the site and building design, operational, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and facilities management requirements, along with technical specifications for the new hospital. That’s over 15,000 pages of planning and design documents based on direct input provided.
We recognize that now, more than ever, the infrastructure of a hospital is an essential component in ensuring we have the capacity to respond to, and roll out effective infection prevention and control measures. With the challenges of new and emerging infectious diseases, as well as higher public expectations and awareness of healthcare related issues, Niagara Health is leveraging the lessons learned and applying them into the development of the new hospital.
We are well positioned and are working to ensure that we are capturing the information we need to build a facility that delivers the highest quality of care for our patients and reflects the needs of the Niagara community.
Project Reports
Since 2016, planning for the South Niagara Site has created a number of in-depth planning reports to guide the overall design direction for the new hospital. Many of these reports were undertaken and updated in 2019, forming the foundation for the work we are doing today.
