During the COVID-19 Pandemic, Halton Healthcare approached the original construction team associated with the New Oakville Hospital project (completed in 2014) to do an emergency fit-out of future expansion shell space, in order to accommodate the anticipated strain on the healthcare system associated with COVID-19. The project had to be completed in 3 weeks, and aimed to accommodate 40 new beds, 5 washrooms and back-of-house support for nurses and doctors to deal with overflow patients as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
