Stevenson Memorial Hospital (SMH) in Alliston has released renderings of how the hospital’s exterior will appear once the redevelopment and expansion plan is completed.

Construction is slated to begin in 2025, with the expansion estimated to be complete in 2028.

Created by Kasian Architecture, the primary design consultant for the redevelopment project, the design features significant use of natural light, modern features, enhanced parking, and a dedicated entrance for the Emergency Department, which will triple in size.

The design features are inspired by local history, landscape, traditions, and culture. 

The renderings are part of the hospital’s Stage 2.1 Block Schematics proposal to the Ministry of Health, which is being submitted by the end of the month. The Ministry has updated the capital planning process to include nine steps with three sections and construction beginning in the third section.

“This is an exciting milestone to share as we progress further along in the redevelopment planning stages and soon transition to early works projects in preparation for construction,” said Jody Levac, president and CEO of SMH. “These new images give the community a clear view of what we have been working so hard towards and what the community will have access to in the coming years.”

At 152,000 square feet, the newly designed wrap-around expansion will triple the square footage of the hospital and will include a complete redesign of the hospital’s clinical area. These areas include the emergency department, laboratory, medical and surgical (in-patient) unit, diagnostic imaging area, surgical suite, birthing unit, pharmacy, and medical device reprocessing.

“Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation [SMHF] is delighted with the new rendering images of the redevelopment for Stevenson Memorial Hospital, created by Kasian Architecture,” said Mary Thomas, CEO of SMHF. “These visuals showcase our commitment to creating a modern, patient-centered healthcare facility that will continue to serve our community with excellence and innovation.”
