The University of Ottawa Heart Institute officially broke ground Thursday on its planned $200-million expansion and renovation project.
A new four-floor addition at the southwest corner of Ruskin Street and Melrose Avenue will add about 147,000 square feet of space for services such as cardiac catheterization, cardiac surgery and an intensive care unit. As well, about 59,000 square feet of existing space will be renovated.
The entire project is expected to take five years to complete.
“Today marks a historic milestone as we begin the construction of the most significant expansion of the heart institute since its foundation,” Dr. Thierry Mesana, the heart institute’s president and CEO, said in a news release.
“Our new facility will not only reinforce our cardiovascular care, research and training capacities, but will also ensure that our patients continue to receive world-class care.”
The heart institute, which opened in 1976, treats more than 94,000 cardiac patients a year. It has been operating at or beyond capacity for years.
PCL Constructors Canada Inc. will build and finance the expansion project. At the peak of construction, more than 150 workers are expected to be on the site.
