COMPLETED:
December 2020
The Ottawa Hospital and Infrastructure Ontario
joined forces in the fall of 2020 to erect a
temporary Offload Medicine Transition Unit
(OMTU) at the hospital's Civic Campus. The
fully operational, 10,800-square-foot Sprung
structure supports the campus' emergency department,
by expanding capacity, decreasing
patient wait times. and improving ambulance
responsiveness.
The tent-like structure can accommodate 40
patients and connects to the main hospital via
an above-ground tunnel. It includes four staff
stations with seating and desktops for up to 12
employees, a staff lounge, washroom facilities,
showers, a negative pressure isolation room,
and its own ambulance intake area for patient
offloading. Built to withstand the extreme Canadian
climate, the OMTU is equipped with mechanical
systems to allow negative air pressure,
oxygen/suction at each headwall, a nurse call
system, local paging, and emergency power to
meet the hospital's required conditions.
The OMTU was completed on December 31,
2020, and started accepting patients days later.
In just three months, the team planned, constructed,
and delivered a fully operational space
to help alleviate capacity challenges at the Civic
Campus and improve the quality of care available
to patients in the Ottawa-Carleton region.
