Project Update
Stollery Children’s Hospital:
Pediatric Critical Care Expansion
Overview
· This project is required to increase clinical support space to meet current standards of practice and accommodate equipment associated with increasing levels of patient acuity.
· The project will provide a world class facility that meets both current and future patient needs through increased capacity of the Stollery Children’s Hospital’s Critical Care Units.
· This $64.1 million project will:
o develop the currently shelled space on thesixthfloor of the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute for a Pediatric Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (PCICU) (Phase 1);
o expand the existing Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) by redesigning and redeveloping the former Adult Cardio Vascular Intensive Care/Surgery Unit at the Walter Mackenzie Health Sciences Centre (Phase 2);
o redevelop the existing Stollery Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and PICU areas and provide space for common non-clinical/family support (Phase 3);
o renovate the existing double isolation room at the Stollery NICU located at the Royal Alexandra Hospital into two single isolation rooms; and
o install a new elevator into an elevator shaft that was previously constructed.

· The design of Phases 2 and 3 of the 3rd floor Walter Mackenzie Centre is underway.
