Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre (TBRHSC) is an existing 425-bed acute care facility that serves Thunder Bay and the Northwestern Ontario region. TBRHSC is seeking to prequalify General Contractors for the upcoming Cardiovascular Surgery Program expansion and Medical Device Reprocessing Department (MDRD) renovation at 980 Oliver Road. The project is in the final stages of design and will require Ministry of Health approvals prior to tender being issued. It includes the construction of a 60,000 sq ft addition to the existing Hospital, consisting of two floors from the ground level and a mechanical penthouse. The addition will include a new hybrid operating room equipped with C-arm imaging technology, six (6) Critical Care Unit beds, fourteen (14) Cardiovascular surgical beds, and an ambulatory care clinic. The project also includes a 14,000 sq ft renovation to the existing Medical Device Reprocessing Department, Phelebotomy and Electrocardiogram (ECG) room, and two (2) existing Operating rooms.
