Toronto Western Hospital

The tower’s integrated design is driven under the leadership of DIALOG, and incorporates insights from diverse stakeholders, including surgeons, nurses, patients, clinical managers, UHN Environmental Services, the Indigenous Health Program, digital infrastructure teams, pharmacists, and UHN Infection Prevention and Control, the Laboratory Medicine Program and medical imaging specialists.

While seamlessly integrating into the existing hospital care fabric, the new tower also serves as TWH’s main entrance and campus gateway. Visitors will encounter a thoughtful, calming, and intuitive interior design, with soft, organic forms and natural materials promoting biophilia throughout the project, from the ground floor lobby to inpatient rooms.

Sited with spectacular north and west exposure, access to natural daylight and views is prioritized, not only for patient and visitor areas but also clinical and support services spaces. Recognizing the importance of respite areas in healthcare, a garden near the main entry and an exterior terrace on Level 11 will provide outdoor sanctuaries in the heart of the city.
