Clark Builders awarded construction manager contract to build patient tower, expand and renovate Red Deer Regional Hospital

Site preparation work is underway now that a construction contract has been awarded for the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre redevelopment project.
The redevelopment of the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre has been a priority infrastructure project since 2019. Over the last five years, significant work has been undertaken, including the development of the business case, extensive planning and coordination with multiple partners, public consultation, design and early site preparation. Following a competitive procurement process, Clark Builders has been awarded the construction manager contract to build the new patient tower and expand and renovate the existing hospital building in Red Deer.
Clark Builders will complete early site preparations such as demolishing the existing Annex building and surface parking lot. By early 2025, construction will begin on the new patient tower. Renovations will also begin in specific locations of the existing facility, with a focus on minimizing any disruption to hospital operations.
“This construction contract award is a significant milestone in moving the Red Deer Hospital project forward. To this point, all the work – planning, design, and procurement – propelling the project forward has been behind the scenes. Now, everyone will see the physical work as contractors set up offices, equipment, fencing and signage on site. I am excited to see progress on this project and for the people of Red Deer.”
Alberta’s government is committed to ensuring residents of the Red Deer region can access the care they need, when and where they need it. This project will not only expand and modernize the space, it will provide significant upgrades to services throughout the hospital, such as adding add 200 inpatient beds, increasing the size of the emergency room and adding six new operating rooms. Additionally, the redevelopment will add a new Medical Device Reprocessing department, new cardiac catheterization labs and a new centralized power plant.
“The Red Deer Regional Hospital redevelopment project is a priority for our government. We recognize there is an urgent need to increase capacity and expand services in central Alberta, and the awarding of this contract signifies progress being made towards ensuring patients can receive the health care they deserve close to home.”
“I am pleased to see this vital project advancing with the awarding of the construction manager contract to Clark Builders. This is good news for Red Deer and improving access to healthcare. With site preparations underway and visible construction on the new patient tower beginning soon, there is a strong future ahead for our city!”
A new ambulatory building will also be constructed as part of the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre redevelopment, but as a stand-alone project to be delivered using a public-private partnership delivery method. A contract with the successful organization is expected to be in place by May 2025 and construction will begin shortly thereafter.
Quick facts
- Over the next three years, Alberta’s 2024 Capital Plan is providing $810 million toward a $1.806-billion investment for redevelopment of the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre.
- Initial site preparation is currently underway with a separate construction management team (Shunda Consulting and Construction Management) that was engaged in June 2024 to complete early construction activities.
