Toronto, ON - June 17, 2026 - Since North York General Hospital (NYGH) opened in 1968, the hospital has supported more families along their birthing journey than any other community hospital in Ontario. That’s why they are the largest and most comprehensive maternal and newborn program at a community academic hospital in the province.
Compass was contracted as Construction Management partner to bring this vision to life. The entire 30,000 sq. ft. Birthing Centre has a de-institutionalized, hospitality-like feeling, with a focus on the patient experience.
During Pre-Construction, our upfront site investigations and working relationship with the Owner and Consultant teams played a large role in identifying risks early. This allowed us the time to determine multiple plans for the required renovation and upgrades, resulting in significant cost savings for the Owner. Our engagement during Schematic Design and Document Design phases ensured Value Engineering, schedule and logistical recommendations and constructability reviews were addressed and integrated into project documents prior to being issued to the sub-trade community.
Great project collaboration with NORR and Hariri Pontarini Architects, Smith + Andersen, and our sub-trade building partners.
