From release:
Toronto Rehabilitation Institute
The Toronto Rehabilitation Institute project will include the renovation and expansion of the University Centre site, located at 550 University Avenue. Once completed, Toronto Rehab’s University Centre will be a more modern hospital with facilities better designed to provide care to adults undergoing rehabilitation for serious injury and illness including stroke, brain injury and multiple trauma and cancer. The redevelopment will also include the creation of iDAPT – Intelligent Design for Adaptation, Participation and Technology – one of the most advanced rehabilitation research facilities in the world. Toronto Rehab’s iDAPT facilities will significantly change the landscape of rehabilitation research.
Highlights of the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute project:
* renovations to the existing 12-storey East Wing and four-storey North Wing;
* demolition of the existing South Wing and auditorium;
* construction of a new 13-storey patient-care and research tower on the southwest corner of the site, allowing for increased inpatient, outpatient and on-unit therapy spaces and facilities;
* 17,000 square feet of new dedicated research space to house the hospital’s growing research program that is attracting the best and brightest researchers from around the world; and
* dedicated education space to accommodate the increasing number of students who come to Toronto Rehab to complete their clinical training in a variety of health care disciplines.
Once completed, the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute redevelopment will enable the hospital to relocate its Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation program from its Hillcrest site at 47 Austin Terrace in Toronto to University Centre, paving the way for the closure of Hillcrest Centre.
