The awards panel took note of how the new hospital is expected to act as a "core economic stimulant and centre for medical excellence as an `anchored tenant' for the developing north Oakville region." Panellists said they were particularly impressed with the design and technology innovations of the new hospital, and the community input that contributed to the success of the project.
