P3 PROJECT BRINGS SEVERAL
PARTNERS TOGETHER
The construction of TACC is being funded
through a P3 (public-private partnership)
arrangement with Affinity Partnerships,
which brings several companies together
on the design, build, financing and main-
tenance of the facility over a 30-year pe-
riod. Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Architects and
CEI Architecture partnered in the design,
Balfour Beatty Construction and Ledcor
Design Build are delivering construction
services through a joint venture, and Bal-
four Beatty Communities and Black & Mc-
Donald Limited will provide facilities man-
agement services over a 30-year period.
Having a partner invested in the building’s
maintenance over the course of the agree-
ments has direct benefits. Not only is there
an incentive to build to high specifications
but keeping the building well-maintained
also becomes a priority, Ingram said.
The BC Children’s Hospital Foundation also
contributed approximately $150 million to
the project through its Campaign for BC
Children. More than 80,000 individuals
and organizations have contributed to the
campaign since 2008.
