Vancouver, BC (February 25, 2021) – PCL Construction is pleased to announce it has been awarded the $1.7 billion design-build contract for the new St. Paul’s Hospital Project. This health care facility will be the most extensive hospital redevelopment in BC’s history and PCL’s largest Buildings division design-build in company history. 

The new St. Paul’s Hospital will offer a diverse and long list of general and specialized care, including chronic disease management services; emergency and critical care; mental health and addictions with approximately 550 beds and programs; ambulatory services and outpatient clinics; end-of-life care; Indigenous health; maternity; colorectal and gastrointestinal services; and community care and community outreach programs. It will also include a multi-level underground parking garage, a public plaza, new roads, and civil infrastructure.

“PCL is honoured to work with Providence Health Care to bring this world-class health care facility to Vancouver,” said PCL Vice President and District Manager Jeff Murphy. “We take great pride in knowing that we can help make a genuine difference in our community for patients and their families. Our company is proud of all the projects we build, and the new St. Paul’s Hospital will be another exceptional facility where our health care building expertise shines through.”

PCL and its architects, HDR Architecture Associates, Inc. and Stantec Architecture Ltd., are looking forward to working with our local partners on this project. Site preparation and construction is expected to begin in spring 2021 and scheduled for completion in 2026.
