LHSC releases request for Expressions of Interest for Western Counties land and buildings
London Health Sciences Centre has released a request for Expressions of Interest (EOI) for the Western Counties buildings and land adjacent to the Westminster Ponds. The hospital is seeking information from interested parties who will have the capacity to renovate and sustain the existing buildings while respecting the cultural heritage, environmental and veteran-care related past uses.
LHSC has completed its master planning and has deemed these building and lands to be no longer required for hospital-related purposes. In addition, LHSC is confronted with the ongoing funding constraints facing hospitals in Ontario. This has led to a purposeful shift away from any aspect of hospital business that does not directly or indirectly support the provision of patient care
"LHSC recognizes the importance of these lands to the community and is committed to working closely with the community and a range of stakeholders to seek divestment solutions that would ensure stewardship of this unique property going forward," says LHSC President and CEO Murray Glendining.
The request for Expressions of Interest is open until March 18, 2016 and any questions regarding the EOI must be submitted no later than 12pm on February 5, 2016. More information is available at www.lhsc.on.ca/westerncounties.
