Update on Construction of Adult Mental Health and Addictions Centre

The work continues on the new 102-bed adult mental health and addictions centre at the Health Sciences Centre in St. John’s.

The most recent work on the 240,000 square-foot, six-storey building includes the installation of the facility’s HVAC system, drywall and ceilings, work on the lighting, controls and the building automation system, millwork is ongoing, and work on the main entrance has also recently begun.

Work will also begin in the coming weeks to place signage, bringing it one step closer to completion. The new centre will officially be called the Mental Health and Addictions Centre.

Work is on time and on budget.

The construction of the new facility is expected to be completed in late 2024, with patients being welcomed to the centre in spring 2025.
