Classic Fire + Life Safety has been named the fire and life safety partner for the $898 million Prince Albert Victoria Hospital redevelopment project (PAVH) in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.
As reported by Classic Fire + Life Safety, the project, led by general contractor PCL Construction, is one of Western Canada’s largest healthcare construction efforts.
The redevelopment includes a multi-story acute care tower, which will expand the hospital’s capacity by 40 percent, addressing healthcare needs for Saskatchewan’s northern population.
Classic Fire + Life Safety, in collaboration with Pow City Mechanical, is responsible for installing fire protection systems across the hospital.
This installation includes a range of systems, such as wet, dry, special hazard, and foam systems.
Matthew Neil, Director of Operations for Western Canada at Classic, emphasized the importance of the work, stating: “We are grateful and honored to have been selected as a partner for this flagship project.”
Additional contributions to the project include engineered drawings and materials delivery from Northern Sprinkler Design and APEX Fabrication & Supply, both part of the Classic group of companies.
A milestone for Classic Fire + Life Safety
This redevelopment marks Classic’s largest project in Western Canada to date.
Classic Fire + Life Safety has a long history of delivering large-scale fire protection systems, bolstered by its 2024 acquisition of Legacy Fire Protection Inc., which has established a strong reputation in Saskatchewan.
Neil added: “Earning a spot on this all-star team is a milestone that reflects Classic’s commitment to excellence in fire safety engineering and installation.”
Installation for the fire protection systems began in the summer of 2024.
Substantial completion of the hospital redevelopment is expected by spring 2028.
