QEII Halifax Infirmary Expansion Project Underway

April 8, 2024

Work has started on the QEII Halifax Infirmary Expansion Project with heavy equipment, site trailers and fencing now in place. Construction of a new emergency department entrance and renovations to the ambulance entryway will start first.

“Nova Scotians deserve modern hospitals that support healthcare professionals to provide the best possible care,” said Health and Wellness Minister Michelle Thompson. “This expansion project will revitalize healthcare in our province and boost our economy by creating more than 1,000 jobs for tradespeople and specialized workers here at home.”

The expansion is part of More, Faster: The Action for Health Build. It will include an acute care tower with 216 patient beds, 16 operating rooms, upgraded diagnostic imaging, laboratories and treatment spaces, and a larger, more efficient emergency department to provide care to more patients.
