Peter Lougheed Centre

A new six-storey wing and major renovations are planned at the Peter Lougheed Centre to help the hospital meet regional needs. Project plans allow future development to occur on the site. When completed, the centre will be better equipped to provide more people with safe, quality health care.

Funded Portion

140 inpatient beds have been added including:
A new Intensive Care Unit to increase services available to the community.
A new Coronary Care Unit to provide services to people with heart problems.
A roof-top helipad on the new east wing will provide helicopter access to emergency services. Open Spring, 2010
The 420-stall addition to the west parkade provides more parking for staff and visitors, and opened in October, 2006.

Future Plans

There are plans for future growth in the new wing. The plans of the “shelled” three stories include:

Expanded Emergency Department
Mental Health Short Stay Unit
Hemodialysis Unit
Transplant and Renal inpatient unit
Transplant clinic and research facilities
Mental Health services
Clinical laboratory services

Other renovations will also occur in the existing Peter Lougheed Centre.

Construction Details

A section of the west parkade has been closed to accommodate an interim relocation of the helipad. There will be an operational helipad onsite at all times during construction.

Several years of careful planning were done before the project was approved. In addition, consultations have been held with the community, staff, traffic consultants and other stakeholders during the planning for the project. Portions of the east addition were opened in 2009.
