Sunnybrook Health proposes large brain research building

Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre is proposing a new 124,000 square foot addition dedicated to psychiatry to be called the Hurvitz Brain Sciences Centre. The development would sit between the present Wings D and F overlooking the green belt along Life Saving Drive. It would include a two storey Brain Sciences Wing with one additional level below grade. According to Urban Toronto, the aim of the new centre is to provide specially designed spaces where world-class brain sciences research and care can be nurtured. Compared to the existing premises at Sunnybrook, the new addition will offer more natural lighting to the interior. There will be 37 beds in the new wing.
