Introducing the largest healthcare infrastructure project ever undertaken in Atlantic Canada.
The Halifax Infirmary Expansion Project is a QEII Renew partnership between the Government of Nova Scotia, Nova Scotia Health and Build Nova Scotia. Part of More, Faster: The Action for Health Build, this project will deliver a modern acute care tower with 216 beds, 16 operating rooms, an intensive care unit, and a larger emergency department. QEII Renew will enhance access to care, replace aging infrastructure, and support clinical excellence for future generations of Nova Scotians.
Completion of the acute care tower will enable services to be relocated from aging facilities like the Victoria General Hospital and Dickson Centre to new, state-of-the-art buildings and renovated program spaces.

Parking & Emergency Department Driveway Entrance Information
Parking at the Halifax Infirmary for patients and visitors is at the Summer Street parkade located at 1797 Summer St.
The vehicle and pedestrian access to the QEII Halifax Infirmary’s Emergency Department (ED) has moved from 1799 Robie Street to 1840 Bell Road. This new location includes a designated patient drop-off area, emergency department parking, and complimentary curbside parking service. The current temporary ED drop-off and parking area on Robie Street will permanently close on the same day. The main entrance to the ED will not change.
You can pay the parking fee at the machines inside the hospital before you leave or within the parkade. The machine accepts cash or a credit card. The following fees apply:
- $3 per hour for the first two hours
- $2.50 for the third hour
- $2 for each additional hour
- There is a maximum daily rate for $14.50
There is also a parking lot with meters further south from the entrance on Summer St.
There is bike parking at all entrances.
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:
