Northeast Avalon Acute Care Infrastructure
St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
The Northeast Avalon Acute Care Infrastructure (NAACI) project in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, is a significant development spanning approximately 120,000 square meters (1.2 million square feet) of state-of-the-art healthcare facilities.
