Children and Women of BC benefit from the specialized care provided through the programs and services supported by the project. The facility supports advances in medical technology, leading to improved service efficiency and creating better care and working environments. Furthermore, it ensures that staff remain provincial and national leaders in clinical excellence, delivery of patient and family centred care, clinical teaching, and research.
Each area of the building is modelled after a different part of B.C. with the hope that children, women, and their families can feel at home while receiving care. Evidence has shown that young patients recover faster if their loved ones are close by. The Teck Acute Care Centre features single patient rooms that allow a parent or family member to stay overnight as an added physical and emotional support for the patient.
The LEED gold certified facility optimizes the use of wood in the interior and exterior of the building, consistent with the Province of BC’s Wood First Act. The facility is green and energy efficient, ensuring a high level of sustainability. Natural light and green spaces add to the health and well-being of patients and staff.

About the Teck Acute Care Centre
The hospital project included the demolition of the A-Wing and L-Wing of the existing Shaughnessy building and the design, build, finance and maintenance of the BC Children’s Hospital, now known as the Teck Acute Care Centre, the second phase in the three-phase, multi-year initiative. The 639,400 square foot Teck Acute Care Centre opened in 2017, with the 30-year project concession period concluding in 2047.
The project utilizes a public-private partnership model with the Government of Government of British Columbia and the Provincial Health Services Authority and has an original contract value of $471.5 million.
Located in Vancouver, the eight-story, LEED Gold facility, comprises an expanded emergency department, a pediatric intensive care unit, state-of-the-art operating rooms, advanced diagnostic imaging facilities, neonatal intensive care units, as well as medical and surgical inpatient units. All 231 patient rooms are private with beds for overnight visitors. The Teck Acute Care Centre also includes a high-risk labour and delivery suite and a new neonatal intensive care unit for BC Women’s Hospital and Health Centre.
Over 400 pieces of art were purposely designed and commissioned to lower anxiety, help reduce stress and pain, and promote a child’s healing.
