The emergency department will located to the south on Bronte College Court. The J-wing will remain and will be repurposed for another use, undecided for now. No info on what will replace the existing hospital.

Zoning uses.

Trillium is currently in the process of purchasing the Camilla Care Community. Once that goes through, rezoning from residential to institutional use will take place.

The J-wing (which is the newest build of the existing complex) is an odd standout. I am guessing that it will be converted into a continuing care centre/nursing home.

The 905 really knows how to make nice parking garages. I’d much rather them all be underground though.

Probably not the best idea in a hospital setting given the basement is probably used for other things?

There is parking underneath Sick Kids; it's certainly possible to configure the new buildings/site to support that.

I would imagine the advantage to going above ground is cost.

Everything is possible, but aren't all that many examples even in intensely urban hospitals in downtown (mind you they got away by having higher transit use by staff in general)

That is true.

St. Mike's relies on the Green P located across the street.

T-Gen was originally built before underground parking was really a thing, and also had vast land holdings for and has built a parking garage.

Princess Marg, and Mt. Sinai rely on the vast surface parking and garages both private and public to their west.

Western also has a parking garage (staff only)

TGH didn't include any parking underground even in their new/relatively new builds (the Clinical Services Building, Eaton Wing, etc - though they do now have that parking garage plus the new surface lot on Elizabeth), ditto St. Mike's. There aren't all that much surface parking left for either PMH and MSH (and the existing parking garage just screams out for future redevelopment given the existing footprint for both are pretty much maxed out).

If only there was a light rail line along Hurontario Street, then we wouldn't need such a big parkade.

Oh wait...
 
May 23rd - Staff lot closed and small building razed as this project is underway.

Sorry to respond to this old post. But I do think the government should make it simple for government workers to work closer to home so we don't need to waste this much money on parking. There are nurses who travel hours to get to their hospital because it happened to be the hospital hiring at the time they were looking. Same goes for teachers, doctors, policing, and many other government jobs. We need to incentivize living where you work and make it easier to do this. People (obviously) don't want to go through applying, interviewing, starting at the bottom of seniority, so they sit in traffic for hours, emit greenhouse gasses to get there, park in massive parking lots to get where they need to get to make money. So we have to keep expanding our highways, building massive parkades, and not have people who live in our communities serve these communities. This should be a government priority.
