Construction to begin in early 2024 on final two buildings for Mental Health and Addictions Campus

Late 2027 – that’s the estimated completion date now for a new $114-million Mental Health and Addictions Acute Care Facility and Life Skills Centre that will replace the current Hillsborough Hospital. It will be the anchor building for the mental health and addictions campus and provide facilities for hospital-based mental health, addictions and substance use treatment. Construction is to begin early next year.  Early 2024 is also when construction is to begin on a new $16-million Mental Health and Addictions Wellness and Transition Centre.  It will be home to several existing provincial programs such as the Addictions Intensive Day Treatment Program and the 12-bed Addictions Transition Program, as well as new programs such as a long-term Mental Health Transition Program. It is expected to be completed in 2026.
