The Patient Care Tower (PCT) at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, B.C. was constructed on the Royal Inland Hospital (RIH) campus and is connected directly to the existing RIH facilities on five levels. The indicative design work proposed a nine-storey building plus rooftop helipad, and two levels of underground parking to supplement 165 new surface parking stalls.
The PCT was planned to be approximately 27,000 square metres (gross floor area) of new clinical, administrative and support spaces. Program components include mental health and medical/surgical beds; new surgical suite; perinatal centre and private labour and delivery rooms, obstetrics and postpartum beds; and a neonatal intensive care unit.
Construction of the Patient Care Tower began in 2018. The building was ready for occupancy in 2022.
