Toronto Western Hospital is unique. In addition to being a quaternary care health science centre and teaching hospital and research centre affiliated with the University of Toronto, it is a community hospital for several downtown neighbourhoods including, Kensington, Alexandra Park and Chinatown. It is also home to the globally recognized Krembil Research Institute.

Despite a constrained site, the project encompasses around 380,000 gross square feet across 11 clinical program floors, housing 20 operating rooms, including three hybrid ORs with cutting-edge imaging capabilities.
The addition of 16 critical care and 66 acute medical/surgical beds creates 82 new beds, and a new automated pharmacy enhances TWH’s ability to provide outstanding care for patients from across the city and around the province.

While seamlessly integrating into the existing hospital care fabric, the new tower also serves as TWH’s main entrance and campus gateway. Visitors will encounter a thoughtful, calming, and intuitive interior design, with soft, organic forms and natural materials promoting biophilia throughout the project, from the ground floor lobby to inpatient rooms.
