It is interesting to compare girth of old and new buildings.

It is interesting to compare girth of old and new buildings.

Much different layout nowadays.

In both layouts, any in-patient rooms have windows.

But in the older building, patient rooms abut each outer wall, and there's a single (too narrow) corridor between them.

A cramped nursing station is squeezed between 2 rooms (in lieu of one) and the rooms hold 2 beds for the most part, but 3-4 beds for those at the ends of the hall.

Those old rooms could barely handle a standard stretcher though the door and had virtually no room for it to line up parallel to a bed.

There was no set of rooms/spaces mid-corridor. Where as that's where most non-patient room space is located in the new build. The new build is actually 2 wide corridors running in a squared-circle.

The new rooms are much more spacious, generally private, and the corridors much wider. The nursing station(s) and the treatment spaces are mostly/all in the interior (non-windowed) space.

Green Infrastructure Partners (GIP) seems to be absolutely everywhere lately. Does anyone have any insight into how they have become so omnipresent in Ontario's public works projects?

Michael Garron Hospital’s campus renewal has entered a new stage with demolition of the hospital’s shuttered mid-century wings. https://urbantoronto.ca/news/2025/0...-wings-underway-michael-garron-hospital.59509

Adaptive reuse , have you heard of it? Why is this country still in the demoliton mindset of the 1960s???

Hospital architecture has really changed in last 25 years, it is very hard to reuse older hospitals as the patient rooms are the wrong sizes and configurations and they now all need more equipment and connections.

Doesn't look like much has changed since I was here 3 weeks ago.

Until we look around the back.

Work seems to be moving a bit quicker this week.
