SASKATOON — Construction is underway on the St. Paul's Hospital front entrance expansion project.
Graham Construction & Engineering Inc. is leading the construction of the fully accessible and expanded front entrance with 6,609 square feet of interior renovations supporting the relocation of Patient Registration, Security and Information Services.
The upgrades to the existing facility include additional washrooms, a relocated gift shop and a First Nations and Métis Cultural Healing Centre.
The new First Nations and Métis Healing Centre will offer space for celebration of culture and for patients to seek culturally safe healing. Emmanuel Health and the St. Paul's Hospital Foundation have committed to donating a share to the project.
"Projects like this become reality through the significant effort and dedication of individuals driven by a vision to enhance the care, comfort, and safety of our health care facilities," Graham Construction District Manager Randy Schentag said.
"As a local contractor, projects of this nature hold immense significance for us, and we take great pride in contributing to the positive impact this project will have on our community."
Construction is expected to be completed in the fall of 2025.
