Report PDS-041-25
Report Overview
In October 2024, Council approved the relocation of the historic Lambert House to a different
location on the Hospital property in support of the redevelopment of Lakeridge Health
Bowmanville (PDS-042-24). At that time, the concept plan proposed to relocate the Lambert
House to a spot facing Liberty Street S. Since then, the design of the Hospital
redevelopment has progressed and Lakeridge Health has requested to instead relocate the
Lambert House to the southeast corner of the Hospital property, facing Prince Street.
The revised proposal is supported by the Clarington Heritage Committee, and Planning and
Infrastructure Services staff.
The purpose of this report is to seek approval to support the relocation of the Lambert House
on the hospital site in support of the Lakeridge Health Bowmanville Hospital redevelopment.
1. Background
1.1 To support the redevelopment of the Lakeridge Health Bowmanville Hospital, the
historic Lambert House on the Hospital grounds must be relocated within the
property. The Lambert House is listed on the municipal Heritage Register.

Report PDS-041-25
1.2 In October 2024 via Report PDS-042-24, Council approved the relocation of the
Lambert House to a different location on the Hospital site, facing Liberty Street
S., as shown on the concept plan at that time (Figure 2, PDS-042-24).
2. Discussion
2.1 As the redevelopment plans for the Hospital have advanced, Lakeridge Health
has requested permission to relocate the Lambert House to a position on the
property facing Prince Street instead of Liberty Street (Figure 2, below).
Figure 2: Revised Lambert House Relocation Concept Plan (facing Prince Street)
2.2 The revised concept (i) simplifies the relocation process as the structure can be
moved within the site rather than along Prince and Liberty Streets, and (ii)
provides for an appropriate transition between the Hospital and the residential
neighbourhood to the east.
2.3 The Prince Street location was presented to and supported by the Heritage
Committee at its June 17, 2025, meeting (Motion 25.39), and is supported by
Planning and Infrastructure Services staff. The associated Heritage Impact
Assessment – Conservation Management Plan has been amended to support
the Prince Street relocation (Attachment 1).

2.4 As Council approved the recommendation (#PD-075-24) in Staff Report PDS-
042-24, which references the Liberty Street S. location and a Heritage Impact
Statement that has since been revised, a revised recommendation is needed.
2.5 While staff do not anticipate further revisions, any further relocation of the
Lambert House on the Hospital property be required as part of the Bowmanville
Hospital expansion project, it is respectfully recommended to be delegated to the
Deputy CAO of Planning and Infrastructure Services and addressed through the
site plan approval process.
2.6 Following the relocation and restoration and completion of the hospital

2.0 Introduction
2.1 Overview
The property at 47 Liberty Street South (including 18-22 Prince Street) is the home
of the Lakeridge Health Hospital campus in the Town of Clarington (originally known
as the Bowmanville Hospital). It has been providing health services to the
community for over 100 years. The hospital is planning to build a new facility and
renovate existing facilities in order to provide the best of care to the local community.
Lakeridge Health retained Vincent J. Santamaura, Architect Inc., CAHP to prepare
the Heritage Impact Assessment, and a Conservation Management Plan which
proposes preserving the hospital’s Lambert House and re-locating it to the hospital’s
Liberty Street South frontage.
On October 21st, 2024 Council Adopted the Lambert House Heritage Impact
Assessment/Conservation Management Plan which proposed preserving the
Lambert House by moving it to the Liberty Street South frontage.
Evolution in the overall concept master site plan for the new hospital has
necessitated re-thinking the location for the Lambert House. Upon review of possible
location options, the properties at 20 and 22 Prince street which are part of the
hospital campus have been selected.
This report amends the CMP for the new site location.

The Lakeridge Health Bowmanville (LHB) hospital campus comprises the
block bounded by Queen Street to the north, Liberty Street to the west,
Prince Street to the south, and detached residences which front onto
Frank Street to the east.
The LHB property was originally the estate of Hector Beith, a longtime
landowner. Named “South Park”, the estate was purchased by J.W.
Alexander, the president of the Dominion Organ and Piano Company, and
then donated to become the Hospital in 1913. The site is located centrally
in the Town, one block south of the main intersection of King and Liberty
streets.

4.1 Cultural Heritage Value or Interest
The buildings at 18-22 Prince St are not listed and have no Cultural
Heritage Value or Interest.
5.0 Development Proposal - Amended
5.1 Proposal Description:
A phased design and construction program is being proposed to build the
new hospital using the P3 partnership method (Design and Construction)
which will allow it to continue to function during construction. A new
campus is being designed which proposes to demolish part of the original
hospital. A new main hospital building is to be added to the campus with
frontage along Queen Street on the north with public access from Prince
Street to the south.
As a cost saving strategy, the parking structure originally proposed to the
east of the new hospital building has been deleted from the building
program. The footprint of the hospital has been revised to expand
eastward, but also set back further from Prince Street. To satisfy hospital
parking requirements, more of the site is needed for surface parking.

As well, some technical/structural issues have arisen regarding the
proposed Lambert House Liberty Street frontage location;
- Additional snow loading will occur on the Existing Hospital north
wing roof which will require structural reinforcement, but is not
economical as the wing will be demolished;
- The re-location of Lakeridge Health’s Communication and data
services is proving to be very high risk undertaking to which
Lakeridge Health does not wish to be exposed. (The data
services feed 40% of the LH network of hospitals.)
The need for more flexibility for parking on site has necessitated a re-
thinking of the proposed Lambert House location. The Hospital master site
plan re-design offers an opportunity to review the Lambert House location
which can also address the structural and technical issues noted above,
but also:
- Makes the building re-location travel route much shorter, solely
on hospital property and will not require the use of regional and
municipal roads, thereby reducing community disruption;
- Allows for a gateway location for the Lambert House to
demarcate the public entry point to the hospital, and become
more involved in daily hospital use;
- Contributes a residential scaled building to the neighbourhood
streetscape;
- Transitions and buffers from the institutional uses to residential
uses.

5.2 Development Assessment - Amended:
5.2.1 Intensification – the re-construction of the hospital responds to the
increase in population of the community. The proposal provides a built
form which provides for today’s medical standards minimizing any
potential major impact on the streetscape or the community. The new
buildings will be located away from existing neighbouring properties. The
re-location of the Lambert House to the Prince Street frontage will restore
its exposure to the community, and contribute to the existing
neighbourhood character. The development patterns of the site are being
respected.
5.2.2 Built Form- the history of the built forms on the site supports the
institutional built form as being appropriate. The proposal for a variety of
buildings on site echoes previous campus development pattern.
5.2.3 Site Access – the campus approach echoes older development patterns.
Multiple access points along the frontage of the streets similar to existing
conditions. Prince Street becomes the public access point to the Hospital.
Queen Street becomes the emergency and service access to the hospital.
The public access point to the hospital in essence remains as it is today.
5.2.4 Impact on the Streetscape – The Lambert House is exposed to Prince
Street. With the proposed re-location of the Lambert House to the Prince
Street frontage beside the main public access point to the Hospital, its
public exposure will be greatly improved, and allowed to express its
history to the hospital to which this building is connected. The westerly
view from Liberty St will greatly expose it as an entry point to the hospital
and a landmark. The 2 storey residential-like massing of the Lambert
House will transition from the Institutional use to the residential
neighbourhood scale. (The setback of the main hospital building mass
from Prince Street will also reduce its visual impact on Prince St.)
5.2.5 Building Orientation- The re-location of the Lambert House to Prince
Street increases its visibility. It will increase its exposure to the community,
and will also restore – in part – the original face of the hospital to the
community that existed early in the 20th century. It will act as a gateway to
the hospital campus.
5.2.6 Views through the site –The proposed new buildings’ location will allow
view corridors throughout the site. The Lambert House will act as a
landmark for entry into the site

SELECTED PROFESSIONAL RESUME
Vincent J. Santamaura, B. Arch, MOAA, MRAIC
Overview:
Vincent has evolved his close to 30 years of experience in the Construction Industry from Vincent J.
Santamaura, Architect into a founding partner of SRN Architects Inc. A creative designer, familiar with
a variety of Building systems, and the Building and Approvals process, he applies his knowledge to
solving the building needs of his clients.
Trained and registered as an Architect, Vincent graduated from the University of Toronto. He has been active in
the Greater Toronto Area – from downtown infill housing to new communities to historic renovations, adaptive
re-use to high-rise. Vincent has worked for award winning architectural firms and has run his own practice. He
has worked for a large land developer/home builder as Staff Architect and Community Planner where he was
responsible for designing new communities, lotting modules and commercial and residential unit forms. Fully
versed in the grand picture, Vincent applies his knowledge and experience back into the urban and architectural
design fields.
Familiar with a variety of building systems, Vincent is comfortable designing in steel frame, cast-in place
concrete or wood or light gauge steel framing. His design solutions balance urban concerns, client needs, and
budget demands. Sustainability has always been an interest of Vincent’s since his university days having been
involved in passive energy design since the first oil crisis, and this has led to an interest in building envelope
systems and an exploration of the new techniques. Fundamentally, though, it is the satisfaction of the client’s
needs that drives the building design solution and the delivery of it on time and on budget.
Vincent derives a large amount of his design inspiration from our Ontario Heritage. He’s been the Chair of the
Uxbridge LACAC and has been active in the preservation efforts of the Foster Memorial and the Lucy Maud
Montgomery House, both in Leaskdale. He designed the York/Durham Heritage Railway/Go Train Station in
Stouffville, and renovations to the Goodwood Town Hall (1875) and the Uxbridge Music Hall (1901). With these
works, Vincent has developed strong interpersonal skills interacting with various communities, committees and
municipal governments. This sensitivity to the existing built (and social) environment ensures that any design
intervention will respect its neighbours.
Keenly aware of the complex issues and interests in building communities, Vincent uses his design skills, his
consensus building skills and his experience to arrive at a balanced solution to any design challenge.
