In 1841 the idea of replacing the current hospital began, but it would be until 1844 that anything was accomplished from the meeting of the Medical Professional of Halifax. With the mayor donating his annual salary to kick start funding, the remaining funding was highly talked about between the provincial and city politicians. Finally in 1857 in a large open rather boggy field the building was completed in 1857 at a cost of $38,000 which was paid for by the city of Halifax. Due to many problems with the building it lay virtually vacant from 1860 to 1866.[3] Hospital Superintendent
Modern historyIn 1948 a new Victoria General Hospital was opened immediately east of the land which would eventually become home to the IWK Health Centre, a children's hospital, on a block bounded by Tower Road, University Avenue and South Street and was the largest hospital in the province in terms of both staff and bed capacity. A hospital parking area was established in the lot between Tower Road and South Park Street; in the 1980s the lot was expanded to physically join with the hospital facilities, effectively dividing Tower Road into two sections north and south of the facility. Historically, "the VG", as it is called, was aligned with the Dalhousie University Faculty of Medicine as the province's only teaching hospital.[5] The Victoria General Hospital's emergency and outpatient services were closed and consolidated at the new Infirmary site in 1998.
