For the South Muskoka site, a greenfield approach where a hospital would be built on a different piece of land is also contemplated.<\/p>\n<p>The Task Force received an update on the final \u2018blocking and stacking\u2019 workshop with clinicians in December that confirmed the space needs for the future services at each of the Two Acute Sites and the appropriate clinical adjacencies. From these workshops, the architectural consultant Stantec has developed high-level floor plans that were shown to the Task Force. The floor plans depict the blocks of space anticipated for each of the various services on each potential floor of each building that will be sent to a cost consultant for construction cost estimates. Stantec also showed the conceptual development options of where and how buildings could take shape on the properties in the future in line with the most ideal expansion and\/or development areas.<\/p>\n<p>The Task Force confirmed plans to engage the community through information sessions across the region the week of March 4-8, 2019 where the building options being considered will be explained and community feedback invited through online survey and hard copy forms.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-62646\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2019\/02\/Screen-Shot-2019-02-26-at-6.18.18-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"884\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2019\/02\/Screen-Shot-2019-02-26-at-6.18.18-PM-300x110.png 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2019\/02\/Screen-Shot-2019-02-26-at-6.18.18-PM.png 884w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 884px) 100vw, 884px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Task Force continued to discuss the local share requirement for financing the Two Acute Sites redevelopment.
