CALGARY, Alberta – PCL Construction Management Inc. has been awarded the $1.1-billion Design-Build contract for the new Calgary Cancer Centre project, as part of the government’s $1.4 billion overall project budget.
The Calgary Cancer Centre is PCL’s largest Design-Build lump sum project to date. The new facility will measure over 2 million square feet, including a 1,650-stall underground parking garage and a 984- linear-foot elevated walkway that connects with existing facilities. There will be 160 inpatient beds, 15 new radiation vaults, outpatient cancer clinics, a clinical trials unit and research laboratories.
The vision for the centre is to deliver leading comprehensive cancer care that integrates patient- and family focused care, education, prevention, screening and cancer research. It will also be one of the most energy-efficient hospitals in North America, and LEED Silver certification is targeted.
Members of the project team include DIALOG and Stantec. Construction will begin in late 2017 and is scheduled for completion in 2022.
