The Richmond Hospital Redevelopment Project is in phase one: Park Centre and Rotunda decant and demolition

Richmond Hospital will be adding a new nine-floor acute care tower, the Yurkovich Family Pavilion, which includes an intensive care unit; a fully equipped medical imaging department; a pharmacy; and short-stay pediatrics. This will give Richmond, with its growing and aging population, the acute care it needs moving into the future.

The cost is approximately $860.8 million and will be shared by the provincial government through Vancouver Coastal Health and the Richmond Hospital Foundation.

Project scope

  • Yurkovich Family Pavilion - nine-floor acute care tower:
    • Emergency department with 86 spaces, up from 62
    • 11 operating rooms, up from eight in the Greczmiel Family Surgical Centre
    • Eight day procedure rooms, up from three
    • More pre- and post-surgical care spaces, increasing from 26 to 68
    • Earthquake-safe and constructed above the flood plain
    • Planned to be 100 per cent carbon neutral
  • Add 113 new beds to the hospital, bringing the total to 353
  • Milan & Maureen Ilich Medical Imaging Centre
  • South Tower renovations to create new inpatient psychiatry and psychiatric emergency units
  • Milan Ilich Pavilion will also be renovated and be home to the Cancer Care Clinic

Patient benefits

  • Improved quality of care and patient and family experience
  • Reduced waiting time and turnaround time
  • Increased capacity to meet the growing demand
