There are still details to be ironed out before a new Civic hospital can be built on the Sir John Carling site. Among them:
The fault line:
The Sir John Carling site has a fault line passing through it, which could increase design and building costs. NCC CEO Mark Kristmanson calls it a “moderate” issue that design and engineering can deal with. What is unknown is whether that will add to the cost. Hospital officials have said they expect a new Civic to cost $2 billion. The hospital plans to raise $400 million in its largest ever fundraising campaign.
The existing building:
The site contains one building, the former cafeteria from the Sir John Carling building that was imploded in 2014. The cafeteria was preserved during demolition and has a heritage designation. Heritage Ottawa’s Leslie Maitland noted that other heritage buildings get demolished, so its demolition might not cause an outcry. What is not known is whether it would delay the project, or add to its cost, and who would pay that cost.
Parking:
The hospital had earlier raised concerns that it would have to build parking structures at the site, which would add to the cost. It has not said how many parking spots it would require at the site and whether they would be on the surface or in a parking structure.
Topography:
The 50-acre site is on two levels — the lower portion near Dow’s Lake and Carling and the upper portion further along Prince of Wales Drive. Building on the site could present design challenges that add to the cost.
The University of Ottawa Heart Institute:
The Heart Institute, in the midst of a $200 million expansion, says it will not leave its current site beside the old Civic hospital for 20-25 years. The hospital wants to move in 10 years. It remains unclear whether that distance will add to costs for either institution.
