The building
Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre is located at 980 Oliver Road, Thunder Bay, Ontario. The building was constructed between 1998 and February 2004. Its construction features a three-story atrium and one of the primary structural elements is wood, for which it won an award in 2004.[3] When completed the building was over budget and several years late. This hospital is the only one in Thunder Bay.
The hospital is equipped with a ground level helipad located along Ron Saddington Way and short distance from the hospital building thus not requiring ambulance transfers.
