The Quinte Health Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital in Picton, Ontario will be the first all mass timber acute care hospital in North America upon completion in 2027. The new hospital is designed by HDR and currently under construction with M. Sullivan & Son and Infrastructure Ontario.
With abundant research proving environmental and human health are intrinsically connected, this environment will serve its community with advanced medical technologies, energy-efficient operations, biophilic design principals, a low-carbon mass timber structure and access to nature throughout the facility.
The Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital will include 23 inpatient beds, an emergency department, diagnostic imaging, procedures, comprehensive ambulatory care services and healing gardens, while its sustainable infrastructure will feature geothermal energy, solar panels, green roofs, electric vehicle ready parking and a high-performance building envelope for future electrification and net-zero carbon emission status. Situated at the heart of Picton, Ontario, the new Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital will be adjacent to the existing hospital, which will remain operational during construction.
