Construction of the main building of the Gene Zwozdesky Centre (Norwood Redevelopment Project) is mostly complete. Commissioning work is underway. Commissioning includes testing of all the building systems to ensure everything is working properly.

The facility is expected open to the public in the fall of 2023. After construction of main building is complete, the Norwood North and CHOICE buildings will be demolished and the Angus McGuggan building will be renovated and is expected to be completed in the 2025.

To accommodate construction activities some temporary changes will continue to be made to parking and traffic flow at the Norwood Centre that will impact residents, visitors and staff.

Temporary visitor parking is available east of the Angus McGuggan building and staff parking is available in front of the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital. (see map).

Visitors, and staff will access the temporary parking lots via 111th avenue and the Glenrose main driveway. Access to the staff lot is also available from 112th avenue.
