by The province says work has started on the QEII Halifax Infirmary Expansion Project with heavy equipment, site trailers and fencing now in place.
It says construction of a new emergency department entrance and renovations to the ambulance entryway will start first.
The expansion will include an acute care tower with 216 patient beds, 16 operating rooms, upgraded diagnostic imaging as well as labs and treatment spaces, and a larger emergency department.
The government says it’s the biggest healthcare construction project in the province’s history.
