In the summer of 2006 Geo. A. Kelson Company began work on the new $52 million Emergency and Critical Care Centre at the Scarborough Hospital. The Scarborough Hospital’s 50-year old Emergency Department was the oldest in the city and was experiencing three times the traffic it was designed to accommodate. The new ECCC will add 15,000 sq. ft. of Emergency area, along with a 14-bed Intensive Care Unit, 8-bed Coronary Care Unit, and Diagnostic Imaging department including an MRI Centre, CT scanning, nuclear medicine and a breast screening clinic. The facility was completed in September 2008.
