“Selecting the site for a new stand-alone Stollery Children’s Hospital is a major step forward towards building a new hospital in Edmonton that will serve children in Alberta, the rest of western Canada and the territories. This location gives us the space and flexibility to plan a modern facility that puts children and families first.”
Martin Long, Minister of Infrastructure
The new stand-alone Stollery Children’s Hospital will be located on the University of Alberta’s South Campus in Edmonton, at the northeast corner of 122 Street and 51 Avenue. Alberta is continuing to grow, and this site was chosen for its large size, potential for future expansion and proximity to the university’s existing hospital, supporting stronger collaboration with academic and research partners.
Alberta’s government began investing in the Stollery project in 2021 with an initial $1 million, matched by the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation. Budget 2025 invested another $11 million over three years to advance the planning and design for the new children’s hospital which will serve families across Edmonton, northern Alberta and the Northwest Territories.
