South Niagara Hospital

The new South Niagara Hospital (SNH) will be an integral part of a connected healthcare system for the Niagara region and surrounding areas.

Having previously completed the campus plan for Niagara Health, we are leading the planning, design, and compliance (PDC) team for this greenfield, full acute care hospital. With 469 beds, SNH will feature centers of excellence specializing in stroke, complex care, geriatric and psychogeriatrics, and wellness in aging. It will also include a 24/7 emergency department and services for critical care, surgical, mental health and addiction, kidney care and dialysis, and testing and research. Extensive engagement with Indigenous communities informed the exterior and landscape design, helping to promote a culturally sensitive environment respectful of Indigenous traditions. To better understand the potential impacts of climate change¡ªand targeting LEED Silver¡ªour team also completed a climate risk and resiliency assessment which helped guide the design team toward developing a resilient design.

Upon completion, this project will consolidate services from three existing facilities within the Niagara Health system, making it easier for 450,000 residents to access the care they need at one location¡ªit will also be the first WELL?-certified healthcare facility in Canada.
