International team to build $5bn Canadian hospital expansion
6 March 2025
Canada’s PCL Constructors and B+H Architects are teaming up with Australian investor Plenary Group and Dutch consulting engineer Arcadis.
The project includes building a 14-storey acute care tower, with 216 beds, 16 operating rooms, a 48-bed intensive care unit and an emergency department twice the size of the current one. It will also have lab spaces, a diagnostic imaging department and treatment spaces.
The team will also maintain the project for 30 years after its completion.
Some services will transfer from the QEII Victoria General site to spaces at the Halifax Infirmary complex when they open.
Christine Short, senior medical director of the QEII Healthcare Redevelopment, said: “The QEII Halifax Infirmary expansion will strengthen our healthcare system in many ways, including state-of-the-art, efficient new care spaces that better meet the needs of our staff and physicians.
“This new facility will enhance our physical capacity to provide care while also equipping our teams with advanced tools and technology to deliver high-quality services to Nova Scotians.”
Early site works have already begun on the project, with the tower due to be substantially complete by autumn 2030 and open to patients the following year.
