QEII Halifax Infirmary Expansion Project

Construction of the new acute care tower at the QEII Halifax Infirmary has reached another milestone, with the Level 8 podium structure now in place.

The podium is the lower, wider portion of the building and that forms the base of the 14-storey acute care tower.

It will house a range of hospital services, infrastructure and support functions – including medical device reprocessing, hyperbaric medicine, the new, larger emergency department, surgical suites, ambulatory treatment spaces and laboratories – and provide the structural foundation for the tower above it.
 

Emergency Department Curbside Parking Service

To help make parking easier and more readily available for patients and visitors of the Halifax Infirmary emergency department (ED), a curbside parking service is available at no cost when the ED surface lot is full. This service is provided in partnership with Indigo and is designed to support patients and visitors who require access to the Halifax Infirmary emergency department.

How It Works:

Hours of Operation

• Every day from 7:00 a.m. to 11:45 p.m.

Arrival

• An Indigo parking attendant will greet you at the ED entrance, provide a claim stub, and park your vehicle at the Summer Street parkade.

Departure

• Before 11:45 p.m.: Call the number provided on your claim stub, and the valet will return your car to the ED entrance.
• After 11:45 p.m.: Vehicles will be returned to the ED lot. Keys will be securely stored in a locked safe at the ED entrance. You’ll be contacted with a digital code to access your keys with information on how to access.
   

For more information, please speak to an Indigo parking attendant on-site located at the blue ‘Valet’ booth in front of the ED entrance doors. This service is free for all ED patients and visitors.
