The most exciting thing in Niagara is no longer the Falls!

Kelson is the mechanical contractor for the new South Niagara Hospital. The new state-of-the-art hospital is going to transform health care for the Niagara region.  It will be the first WELL certified hospital in Canada, incorporating design elements that promote health and well-being for everyone who uses it. These improved spaces will prioritize the mental health and well-being of staff, patients and visitors, creating a positive workplace environment that will help attract and retain health care professionals. The Project will consolidate and rationalize services from four existing facilities: the Greater Niagara General Site, the Port Colborne Site, the Douglas Memorial Site and the Niagara Falls Kidney Care Centre, as well as selected services from the Welland County Hospital site – into an estimated 1.185 million square foot new facility, planned on a 49.8 acre greenfield site in Niagara Falls. It will offer a full scope of hospital services including emergency, critical care, diagnostic, therapeutic and surgical services, as well as Centres of Excellence in complex care, wellness in aging, and stroke.  The mechanical design and construction for the facility will use both Kelson’s industry-leading healthcare experience as well as innovative cutting-edge technologies.  As one of the largest and most technologically advanced hospitals ever built in Ontario, the South Niagara Hospital is a landmark project to be celebrated by all involved!
