Contract Awarded to Expand and Improve Emergency Department at Health Sciences Centre

A contract valued at $40.5 million has been awarded to Marco Group to improve and expand the emergency department at the Health Sciences Centre in St. John’s. The new infrastructure will increase access to health care and ensure that appropriate infrastructure is in place to meet future health care needs. The Honourable Elvis Loveless, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, and the Honourable Tom Osborne, Minister of Health and Community Services, announced today that the construction project will include the redevelopment of 2,230 square metres of the current space, as well as the construction of a new 2,690 square metre extension. The new emergency department will serve patients at the Health Sciences Centre and the new adult mental health and addictions hospital, and will include a psychiatric assessment unit, high acuity-trauma unit, care initiation area, ambulance parking garage, medical imaging suite, administration area and a new entrance and registration area. The design of the new emergency department was facilitated by leading industry experts, and has been sized to meet anticipated future patient demand and acuity levels in line with demographic projections. Its layout is based on industry trends and best practices designed to support effective, efficient, and lean workflows in the delivery of patient care. Construction of the new emergency department is anticipated to be completed in 2026.

Quotes “New infrastructure creates better working environments and improves the way we deliver services. Projects such as this new emergency department, the new adult mental health and addictions hospital, and the replacement of St. Clare’s Mercy Hospital will lead to timelier access to quality care, and will help us reach our goal to improve social, economic, and environmental conditions affecting the health of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians.” Honourable Dr. Andrew Furey Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador “Our government is committed to increasing access to quality health care by reimagining and improving the delivery of services throughout our province. The redesign of the emergency department is aligned with this commitment, as it will result in a much better patient flow, which in turn supports better patient care.” Honourable Tom Osborne Minister of Health and Community Services “Our government recognizes the impact the construction industry has on the economy of Newfoundland and Labrador. This project will lead to a modern, more efficient emergency department at the Health Sciences Centre for patients and health care professionals, and will create employment for tradespeople along the way.” Honourable Elvis Loveless Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure
