It’s getting closer and we’re excited!
On time, on budget – complete occupation scheduled for Spring 2011
Since mid-2008, hundreds of construction workers have been on site daily converting 600,000 square feet and 11 floors* of concrete shell into a centre of healing and hope at London Health Sciences Centre. Inside those walls the New Children’s Hospital (and Grace Donnelly Women’s Health Care Pavillion) is fast becoming reality. As floors are completed, some department moves will be phased in. The Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) paediatric unit is already enjoying new larger, brighter space and the latest technologies.
Original inspiration and interior design concept – Nature
Sea to Sky – proven healing influences of nature incorporated into decor of each floor

“Nature is but another word for health.” – H.D. Thoreau
Research has proven that scenes of nature in hospitals have a positive health impact. Patients recover faster, spend less time as inpatients, require fewer painkillers and have fewer post-operative complications. For those reasons, interior decor in this new building will be themed to reflect the various basic elements of nature from stone, water and grass on the lower floors to sky, sun and space on the top floors.
