Plenary Health celebrates topping-off ceremony at Milton District Hospital

Ontario has reached a major milestone in the construction of a new four-storey patient care building at Milton District Hospital.

On 3 June 2016, the new Milton District Hospital celebrated the topping-off ceremony, meaning the new facility has reached its highest point of construction. This brings Halton Region one step closer to benefiting from this new infrastructure. 

Through this expansion, patients in Milton will benefit from:

• expanded emergency and surgical services, medical and surgical inpatient units, critical care, maternal newborn, diagnostic imaging and support services ;
• increased capacity from 63 to 129 inpatient beds, including more single-patient rooms for improved infection prevention and more patient privacy;
• the hospital’s first Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine; and
• a Special Care Nursery with capacity for eight bassinettes in the Maternal Newborn Unit.

 Construction at Milton District Hospital is now underway and is expected to be complete in  the first half of 2017, opening to patients mid-to-late 2017. At the peak period during construction, approximately 500 workers will be on site daily.

The project will target the Canada Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED®) rating system, with a goal of achieving LEED® Silver certification.

The Plenary Health team for the Milton District Hospital expansion project includes Plenary Group, PCL Investments Canada, PCL Constructors Canada, B+H Architects, RTKL Associates, Johnson Controls, and RBC Capital Markets.
