One of the London area’s largest construction projects is well underway marking a new era in regional health care.
After 10 years of planning, EllisDon Corp. is leading a consortium that is constructing a new mental health care centre for St. Joseph’s Health Care London.
The $830-million project includes a new 156-bed, 456,000-sq.-ft. mental health care treatment centre now being built south of Parkwood Hospital. It will replace the aging Regional Mental Health Care London, formerly London Psychiatric Hospital.
The contract is the biggest EllisDon has taken on in the city since the company was founded in London more than 60 years ago.
The new facilities will usher in much-improved mental health care facilities. Institutional wards and communal washrooms will be replaced by comfortable private rooms with a view of London’s Westminster Ponds.
A new 89-bed forensic facility in St. Thomas will care for patients involved in the criminal justice system.
