A seven (7) storey parking structure with 1050 spots is proposed at 401 Smyth Road. It is the first phase of the 1Door4Care CHEO expansion project (Phase 1A) and must be completed prior to the 1Door4Care project (Phase 1B) in order to support the future parking needs of CHEO. The proposed parking garage will (along with other existing surface parking) provide all the future parking needs of CHEO and replace vital surface parking that is being displaced by the new 1Door4Care project at the corner of Smyth Rd. and Ring Rd.

Should we have this thread just be "CHEO" and include any CHEO related news? I'd include the Ronald McDonald expansion (and Roger Neilson House if ever) in here as well.

[Richard Eade]

In desperate need of more hospital capacity? Step 1: Immediately build a huge number of new paid parking spaces. Maybe get around to Step 2 when the Province kicks in a lot more money.

I was amused by one of the reasons given for the NEED for more than 1,000 new parking spaces:

. . . replace vital surface parking that is being displaced by the new 1Door4Care project . . .

Now look at the second-to-last ariel view that rocketphish provided. See what is in the area that the 1Door4Care building will occupy? It is a stand of trees, not a huge amount of “vital surface parking”. OK, some parking spaces will be removed in that area, but, really not that many. The big thing here is that CHEO wants a lot more parking revenue, in my opinion.

I think that these are both distinct construction projects, with their own timelines and completion dates, and so warrant their own threads. We could always start a general CHEO thread as well though, if needed.

It looks like they were using old aerial imagery. The latest aerial view from Google shows a full-size surface parking lot in that location:

And they will lose a bunch of parking while they build this parking structure. Unless this project came with greening the rest of the surface parking or some sort of development project (hotel, student res, residential), not really seeing the point. Better if OC Transpo improved transit service instead.

For what it's worth, uOttawa is also building its new research facility behind Roger Guindon, which will take away more parking.

It looks like the entrance to this parkade will displace a bus stop that is located close to the General and I think gets a lot of use.

I'd like to see how that would be accommodated- better yet, it would be nice to see an integrated shelter as part of the parkade.

Buses being considered as part of car infrastructure? Madness!

Le CHEO réalise un grand rêve

Par Julien Paquette, Le Droit
7 novembre 2023

Le Centre hospitalier pour enfants de l’Est de l’Ontario (CHEO) s’offre un gros cadeau à l’aube de son 50e anniversaire: un nouveau complexe de 200 000 pieds carrés.

Le projet «1lieupourallermieux» consiste à réunir sous un seul toit des services pour enfants aux besoins médicaux, développementaux, comportementaux et en santé mentale complexes.

Ces services sont actuellement répartis à plusieurs endroits sur le territoire de la ville d’Ottawa.



«C’est un rêve que nous chérissons depuis 2008», lance la présidente du conseil d’administration du CHEO, Jo-Anne Poirier.

«L’idée derrière ce centre est de rassembler des centaines de spécialistes afin d’offrir des traitements spécifiques pour tout le monde qui vient chez nous», souligne pour sa part le président-directeur général du CHEO, Alex Munter.

Plus de détails à venir...

New treatment centre at CHEO will be a 'lifeline' for families of children with special, complex needs

Elizabeth Payne, Ottawa Citizen
Published Nov 07, 2023 • 3 minute read



Fifteen years after plans began taking shape, work is underway on a new building on CHEO’s campus that families of children with complex and special needs are calling a lifeline.

Drawings of the $371 million CHEO Integrated Treatment Centre, or 1Door4Care, showing a gym, a school, indoor and outdoor therapy and play space and room for dozens of outpatient services and clinics were unveiled Tuesday.

The six-storey, 220,000-square-foot building will be located in front of CHEO and connected to the hospital with a tunnel. Work on a new five-storey parking garage on the campus, which will clear space for the new building, starts this week with the installation of cranes. Both the parking garage and building are expected to be complete in four years.

Early discussions about the project began in 2008. The new building moved closer to reality when the hospital and what was formerly the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre announced they were amalgamating in 2016.

The new building will become a centre for various treatments and programs that children with special and complex physical and mental health needs and their families rely on. Currently, most of those services are located around the city. Bringing them together under one roof will make life easier and treatment more accessible for children and families, officials said, but it will do more than that.



“It will be an amazing building. It is going to be accessible, modern and friendly. It will be remarkable, but buildings are just buildings. It is what happens inside them,” said hospital president and CEO Alex Munter.

He noted that funding for programs that children and youth rely on come from a variety of streams, which adds to the burden on families.

“What happens in a system as complex as ours is often we make families do the work of trying to collect together the programs and services that their child needs.”

The new centre, when it opens in 2027, will bring together professionals such as social workers, physiotherapists, behavioural therapists, psychologists, speech and language pathologists, occupational therapists, pediatricians and more under one roof and build multidisciplinary treatment programs around the children.

Leanne van der Zweep, the mother of a 13-year-old with a rare genetic condition that causes medical complexity and another child with autism, was among parents whose input has helped to design the centre.

She said some of that input might seem like small things in the scheme of such a large and complex project — it included a focus on waiting rooms and signage to better help parents navigate, as well as having lockers and sinks for families to use during long days of multiple appointments.



“For families, this is so much more than a building. It is a lifeline that will make sure they have support to get the best possible care for their child. Having a child with complex medical needs can be a scary experience. This new centre will mean families like mine will have more support and co-ordination of health-care services so we will have more peace of mind for navigating our health-care journey.”

Start of work on the centre is the first step of what will be a larger redevelopment at CHEO aimed at making it better fit growing demands. Among other things, its often crowded emergency department will be expanded, mental health beds will be expanded as well as lab space, clinical space and more.

The hospital’s foundation will launch a fundraising campaign to support some of the construction costs beginning next year, which is CHEO’s 50th birthday.

Nov. 7, 2023, Ottawa ON – Today marked an exciting milestone for families and caregivers served by CHEO as the organization unveiled the renderings of the CHEO Integrated Treatment Centre, also known as 1Door4Care.

The new 6-storey, approximately 200,000-square-foot building will be connected by a link to the main hospital and offer services for children and youth living with complex medical, developmental, behavioural and mental health needs.

Expected to be completed in 2028, the new building will serve more than 40,000 families yearly and provide an improved new model of care being co-created by clinicians and patients.

Not sure how it's linked to the original hospital building. I assume a tunnel.



Parking garage. Not as nice as the new Civic's, but slightly better than standard.

The docs are finally up:

The site plan control application will facilitate the expansion of the existing CHEO facility at 401 Smyth Road by adding a new 6-storey 21,993m2 wing under the 1Door4Care project. Vehicular access will be provided by Ring Road at the front of the proposed building, and also at the rear of the building by reconstructing the existing vehicle drop-off road for the CHEO facility. 65 vehicle parking spaces, including 14 accessible spaces, will be provided surrounding the building, mainly in a surface vehicle parking lot near the southern entrance of the 1Door4Care facility. Overall vehicle access to the hospital via Smyth and the bus stop along the current roundabout will remain unchanged. One loading space will be accessed from the southern portion of Ring Road and 40 bicycle parking will be provided onsite.

Bringing seven separate treatment locations under one roof, 1Door4Care will stand as a landmark in the community and on the CHEO campus. The building design embodies the visions, values, and goals of the project to deliver care in an inclusive, safe, and comfortable environment. Integrated technology, advanced building systems, and evidence-based design decisions all come together to create a resilient, cutting-edge facility that will serve the people of eastern Ontario for decades to come.

The proposed 1D4C building will be considered an integrated transmural care model, where the building and service link to CHEO will become the interface between primary and secondary care. This link is intended to create consistent, comprehensive, and coordinated service delivery. Both spaces would be fully accessible to clients, staff, and medical staff without the redundancy of cost and operations. Spaces in the building are envisioned to be accessible, culturally safe, multi-use, efficient, versatile, sustainable, welcoming, intuitive, innovative, safe, personalized, and fun. There is a strong commitment by the organization to include community multi-use space to foster learning opportunities, community spaces, and accessible recreational experiences.

The CHEO 1Door4Care Redevelopment Project will provide the consolidation of seven (7) leased sites into one integrated location on CHEO’s main hospital campus. The project will consist of three components:
• A new main building approximately 230,000sq.ft
• A connecting tunnel link to the existing CHEO building
approx. 4000sq.ft (SEPARATE PERMIT)
• A parking structure with 1050 parking spaces (SEPARATE SPC)

The 1Door4Care: CHEO Integrated Treatment Centre Project scope of services includes:
• Development and Rehabilitation
• CHEO School & Pre-School
• Autism Program (Neurodevelopmental Health)
• Outpatient Mental Health
• Integrated Home & Community Care
• Youth Protection & Advocacy
• Centre for Healthy Active Living
• Knowledge Institute (formerly Ontario Centre of Excellence
for Child and Youth Mental Health)
• Champlain Maternal Newborn Regional Program
• Research and Education Spaces
• Family, Community and Recreational Spaces

Happy to see the tunnel. I was worried for a moment. You'd think a skywalk would be less disruptive and more economical though.
