The Government of Saskatchewan has revealed that the St. Paul’s Hospital Front Entrance Expansion project in Saskatchewan, Canada, reached 25% completion milestone.
This development is set to enhance accessibility for all hospital visitors upon its completion.
In October last year, Graham Construction was chosen to deliver the project, with the commencement of construction a month later.
Government of Saskatchewan SaskBuilds and Procurement Minister Terry Jenson said: “We are pleased to share an update on the development of this project.
“The construction of this new front entrance provides an opportunity to improve the safety and accessibility features to benefit the patients, staff and visitors of this facility. We hope to create an inclusive and culturally responsive space for all guests of the St. Paul’s Hospital.”
The project will consist of additional washrooms, a relocated gift shop, and the establishment of a First Nations Métis Cultural Healing Centre.

Concurrently, mechanical and electrical installations are taking place inside the structure, preparing for the next phase that will integrate the new entrance with the existing hospital facilities.
The project has garnered financial support from Emmanuel Health and the St. Paul’s Hospital Foundation.
Emmanuel Health executive director Tracy Muggli said: “We are excited to see the progression of this important initiative that will improve access to and safety within our hospital.
“It will also introduce the First Nations Métis Cultural Healing Centre to support Indigenous patients and families with culturally responsive supports.”
The anticipated completion of the construction is set for late 2025.
