About the Stevenson Memorial Hospital Redevelopment:
Stevenson Memorial Hospital (SMH) is embarking on an exciting redevelopment project that will significantly expand the hospital and modernize its clinical spaces.
At 152,000 square-feet, a new hospital building will be built on the property and will wrap around the current facility. It will include a complete redesign of the hospital’s clinical areas.
These include:
• Emergency Department
• Laboratory
• Medical/Surgical (inpatient)
• Diagnostic Imaging
• Surgical Suite
• Birthing Unit
• Pharmacy
• Medical Device Reprocessing
The Emergency Department will triple in size and have its own separate entrance, complete with a new, enclosed Ambulance Bay.
The design features significant use of natural light, modern features, enhanced parking and is inspired by local history, landscape, traditions, and culture. The design has been created by Kasian Architecture, the primary design consultants for SMH’s redevelopment project.
The current hospital as it stands today was built in 1964 and was built to manage 7,000 visits to its Emergency Department per year. The hospital now manages almost 40,000 per year. With the significant growth in population of our local communities, this redevelopment is needed today and for future generations.
Construction is slated to start in 2025 with an anticipated completion in 2028. Early works projects to prepare the property for construction will be taking place throughout 2024.
