It handed over the project to Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Dr Andrew Furey marking the completion and commencement of the 30-year facility management term.

The environmentally friendly hospital incorporates a geothermal system expected to save 4.6 million kilowatt-watts every year.

The P3 approach is said to align with the province’s goal of enhancing healthcare infrastructure, similar to the upcoming adult mental health and addictions hospital in St John’s scheduled to open in 2025.

Furey said: “This new state-of-the-art acute care hospital will provide a more modern health care environment for the residents of the western region.

“The official handing over of the building from Corner Brook Health Partnership today represents a major milestone in our continued efforts to improve health care service delivery in our province.

“We worked with community partners to deliver this project on time and on budget, and I look forward to seeing the same for our government’s other major infrastructure projects, like the new adult mental health and addictions hospital in St John’s.”
