$25 million Campaign to Build The HOpe Centre.
The Foundation is continuing to work steadily on our $25 million campaign to build The Greta and Robert H. N. HO Psychiatry & Education Centre, (The HOpe Centre). This new Centre for Mental Health and Addictions will be a bright, 4-storey building designed for the comfort and healing of patients through a comprehensive continuum of care by the hospital’s respected psychiatric team.
The recent $4 million donation by The Djavad Mowafaghian Foundation towards The HOpe Centre’s medical education facility, has now brought us closer to our goal. The Djavad Mowafaghian UBC Medical Education Centre, housed at The HOpe Centre, will attract specialists and medical students to the North Shore and make it possible to teach up to 100 medical students per month at Lions Gate Hospital. This new state-of-the-art facility will include a library, wired learning spaces, conference rooms, individual workstations for the students, and an examination room.
The HOpe Centre will be a 150,000 square foot building, centrally located at the corner of East 13th street and St. Andrews Avenue, providing patients with seamless integrated inpatient and outpatient psychiatric care.
IBI Group is finalizing The HOpe Centre plans and construction is scheduled to begin in the Summer of 2012 with an anticipated completion date of late Fall 2013.
This is phase one of the Lions Gate Hospital campus redevelopment plan. Phase two focuses on building a patient tower.
