SNC-Lavalin chosen by New Brunswick for Restigouche Hospital PPP

SNC-Lavalin of Montreal announced that the Rainbow Hospital Partnership, a general partnership wholly-owned by SNC-Lavalin, has been awarded a public-private partnership (PPP) contract by the Government of New Brunswick for the design, construction, commissioning, financing and certain operation and maintenance functions of the new Restigouche Hospital Centre for psychiatric care in Campbellton, New Brunswick.

The new hospital, which will be designed to meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver specifications, will be built by an SNC-Lavalin Construction-led joint venture with a wholly owned subsidiary of Bird Construction Inc. It will have 140 beds in seven in-patient units, and facilities for education and research, clinical support, and administration and general support services. It will also serve as the forensic psychiatry facility for the province. SNC-Lavalin Operations & Maintenance will provide operations and maintenance services for the centre for a total of 30 years.

Work is already underway and the centre is scheduled to open in 2014.
