The Ottawa Hospital’s preliminary plan for a $2-billion Civic campus envisions an oval-shaped hospital that preserves the site’s mature trees and maintains generous open spaces.
The city’s first super hospital, to be built on a split-level site on the eastern edge of the Central Experimental Farm, will also feature underground parking, single-patient rooms and an underground emergency department entrance, according to concept drawings made public Wednesday night.
The initial concept also envisages moving the rehabilitation centre from its current location on the General campus to the new Civic campus. Mental health services, now delivered at both campuses, would be centralized at the Civic.
More than 300 people attended the special information session Wednesday at Lansdowne Park to get their first glimpse of the city’s medical future.
“We’re taking an important first step in creating a new canvas for the The Ottawa Hospital,” said hospital president and chief executive Dr. Jack Kitts. “Today, the rare opportunity to build a brand new, state-of-the-art health and research facility in our nation’s capital is now before us.
“And if we get things right, the new campus of The Ottawa Hospital will have a bigger impact on our community’s health than any of us can imagine.”
With a $3-million grant from the province, The Ottawa Hospital is now into its first year of what’s expected to be a four- or five-year planning process for the development of a new regional trauma centre on the former site of the Sir John Carling building, which was demolished in 2014.

The new super hospital is not expected to open until 2026.
The initial concept, unveiled Wednesday, was described as a “test” to understand how the hospital will fit onto the 50-acre site. Based on feedback from a series of public information sessions held last fall, architects from the design and engineering firm, HDR Inc., were told to take advantage of public transit, to maximize green space, and to preserve trees and pathways.
The concept for the new Civic campus concentrates the hospital buildings — two horseshoe-shaped wings connected by raised walkways — in the northeast section of the site to minimize their impact on the Experimental Farm. The design also allows for pedestrians to walk through the site, and onto the “green roof” of a below-grade emergency department.

The architects faced several challenges during the design process, not the least of which is the fact that the site has a 20-metre change in elevation.
Hospital chief operating officer Cameron Love said the southernmost building, above the escarpment, is projected to be 12-storeys high and would house emergency, acute care, in-patient, surgical and rehabilitation services. The lower building, close to Carling Avenue, is expected to be eight-storeys high and would house outpatient clinics and education facilities.
Love said the design allows the hospital to “split the flow” of patients coming into the hospital, and remove bottlenecks that now afflict the Civic campus.
“What we really want to do is maximize the green space and protect as many trees as we can,” said Love. “That’s what this does.”
Hospital officials also hope to have a light-rail transit station built on the campus to serve patients and their families. “We know we’ll have about 600,000 people through this building a year, and we have 5,000 staff,” Love said. “So we want to maximize efficiency.”
The super hospital is expected to have 800 to 900 beds and 3.5 million to four million square feet of floor space. It would be almost twice the size of the existing Civic campus.
Attorney General Yasir Naqvi, MPP for Ottawa Centre and, said he was impressed with the concept.
“I’m quite encouraged to see they intend to maintain a lot of the green space, and their attention to the sight lines for the Arboretum and Experimental Farm.”
Naqvi said he would like to see the transit station added to the complex. “I think that’s feasible and it’s something we should encourage so it’s more attractive to take light rail,” he said.
The Civic campus has been in operation since 1924, and it remains an open question as to what will happen to the site once a new hospital is built.
