TOH-CPF-2019-073 - BACKGROUND FOR HOSPITAL LOBBY REDESIGN AND RETAIL BUSINESS MODEL

The Ottawa Hospital (TOH) is requesting an expression of interest for a future opportunity currently at its General campus.  The General Campus must provide adequate access to the first floor for all visitors, patients and staff from the main entrance area. The escalator currently located in the area is planned for closure and a suitable alternative is required. The main entrance area is also used for a variety of essential (e.g. information desk, wheelchair access, waiting area) and retail services. TOH would like to consider how the space can be redesigned including redesigning this key access point to optimize the business development opportunities in this physical space while still providing the essential services required at the point of entry.
