Redevelopment

Our Project 

At Toronto Rehab, we focus on solutions – on discovering, creating and delivering practical ways to help people recover from serious illness and injury.  Our vision: “Revolutionizing rehabilitation – maximizing life!” expresses intent and our passion.

To help us realize our vision and in anticipation of a growing need for rehabilitation, Toronto Rehab is redeveloping and expanding its patient care, research and education facilities.

 

Major investment

The past five years have seen major capital investments in our physical plant. Renovations to our Lyndhurst site, include improved research space, a new, more functional main entrance and drop-off area, enhanced indoor therapy facilities and an outdoor therapeutic recreation horticultural garden.

Refurbishments have also begun at our E.W. Bickle Centre for Complex Continuing Care to create a more pleasant and functional environment for patients, family members and staff.

We are also in the midst of a multi-million dollar transformation of our University site, to be completed in 2011. 

The multi-year University Centre project will transform the former acute care hospital into a state-of-the-art rehabilitation hospital with facilities that will better serve the rehabilitation needs of patients and the community.

The redevelopment will also create one of the world's most advanced rehabilitation research facilities that will bring together the brightest research minds and state-of-the-art technology to improve the lives of individuals recovering from, and living with, disabling injury and illness and age-related conditions.

The project involves: 

• demolition of an existing four-storey patient care south wing (completed)

• construction of a new 13-storey patient care and research wing

• renovations to the existing 12-storey east wing and four-storey north wing

• improved entry/accessibility to the building for patients and families

Business as usual: Toronto Rehab will continue to deliver our high-quality specialized patient care services at University Centre during the redevelopment and renovation project.  Some services may move to other parts of the facility during the project, however, all services will continue to be provided on site.  We will do everything we can to keep our facilities as accessible as possible during construction.
