Redevelopment at Trillium
Trillium Health Centre is transforming health care to deliver patient-centred care in a warm and welcoming environment that redefines the notion of a hospital.
We’ve already made great strides in achieving our goal and the momentum is increasing as we create new spaces and renovate existing facilities at our West Toronto and Mississauga locations.
The renovations integrate creative architecture, the best clinical practices and state-of-the-art technology.
Work began in March 2007 and is made possible through our partnership with the Ministries of Health and Long-Term Care and Public Infrastructure Renewal. We thank our partners for their support of our redevelopment projects.

Mississauga - 100 Queensway: New Inpatient Wing
 |
| "The new rooms in
the New Inpatient Wing give patients in wheelchairs more
independence," says Bill Alexander, pictured above

We are transforming our facilities to put your needs first. Our renovations
combine innovative architecture and the latest in technology. This is the largest construction project in our history and the improvements will transform our health centre to improve your quality of care.
A warm, friendly environment for health and healing
Trillium’s new seven-storey patient wing, houses 135 beds in a warm, bright, barrier-free and easy-to-navigate environment.
Each room features:
- A wheelchair-accessible bathroom and ensuite shower
- Individual room access and privacy
- A window for every patient
- A welcoming environment for visitors
The New Inpatient Wing is home to our cancer, cardiac, medicine, rehabilitation and palliative care patients. Facilities are ergonomically friendly and wireless access enables staff to update patient records right at the bedside.
The building itself uses energy efficient materials, significantly reducing operating costs. Trillium is a recognized leader in sustainable energy practice; it is the first multi-site hospital in the world to be awarded ISO 14001 for its environmental standards.
Bill Alexander, former patient and community co-chair of Trillium’s Accessibility Committee, says, “Using a wheelchair to get around, I lost my independence when I was in hospital because my chair couldn’t fit through the bathroom door. In the new rooms, patients will be able to get into bed, go to the bathroom and even shower by themselves.”

What a difference 22,000 donors and $36-million make
Our Capital Campaign began in 2003 with a $5-million pledge from the Volunteers of Trillium Health Centre. Three years later, Honorary Foundation Chair Harold Shipp challenged our community to match his $6-million pledge. In all, 22,000 donors raised $36-million for Trillium.
