A mental health campus in Charlottetown, to include a dedicated acute care hospital and an addictions transition centre, will likely be coming two or three years later than recently announced. The mental health campus was announced by the previous Liberal government in 2018, with plans for completion in the 2024-25 fiscal year. But Wayne Walker, senior director of capital planning for mental health and addictions, told CBC News Friday completion is now scheduled for 2025-26. At 150,000 square feet, Walker estimates the hospital will require more than 100 workers on the construction site. Final design phaseLast week the province issued a request for proposals for the final design of the acute care hospital and the addictions transition centre.
