Project information

The redevelopment of the RDRHC will be run as 2 separate projects, each focusing on improvements to the hospital's services.

Project 1: New patient tower and hospital expansion and renovation

This component involves the construction of a new patient tower alongside expansion and renovations to the existing hospital's main building. Key features of this project include:

  • adding up to 200 new in-patient beds, raising the total capacity to 570 beds
  • six new operating rooms and 2 cardiac catheterization labs
  • a new Medical Device Reprocessing Department and central power plant

The renovations will be phased to ensure construction does not affect the delivery of health services.

Project 2: Ambulatory building

A new ambulatory building through a public-private partnership (P3) model. Located adjacent to the surface parkade, the building will include:

  • spaces dedicated to addiction and mental health services, dialysis, and minor procedures
  • more than 200 underground parking stalls to accommodate the new facility

The Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre Ambulatory Building is in the Request for Proposals stage.

Procurement is underway and a contract with the successful proponent is anticipated to be in place in mid-2025, with construction set to begin that summer.

Funding for this extensive redevelopment, estimated at $1.8 billion, was announced in February 2022, marking it the largest hospital redevelopment project in Alberta's history.
