We’re greater together.
The planning and construction of a new campus for The Ottawa Hospital is one of the largest infrastructure projects in Ottawa’s history. It will be an economic driver for the city and an opportunity for our community to collaborate on a health and research facility that will reshape health care in Ottawa and care for the people of our region for generations to come.
What’s the timeline?
The new campus will take five years to plan and design and five years to build. The Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) has a five-stage process for building a new hospital. Here are the stages:

Stage 1
Proposal and Master Plan
Look at population health trends and medical advancements; take stock of the hospital’s current services and programs, plan for future service models.
Stage 2
Functional Program
Plan for space requirements and preliminary plans for staffing and equipment
Stage 3
Preliminary Design
Design new campus in detail for all aspects of the buildings and the site as a whole, based on patient and community input
Stage 4
Contract Documents
Refine architectural plans and detailed schedule for design and construction
Stage 5
Construction
