Centre for Addiction and Mental Health Phase 1C

Transforming how mental health care is delivered in Ontario, Phase 1C of the CAMH Redevelopment introduces two leading-edge facilities designed to foster recovery, dignity, and community connection.

This milestone phase adds 650,000 sq. ft. of space and 235 inpatient beds to the growing Queen Street campus, with a total contract value of $685 million.

The eight-storey McCain Complex Care and Recovery Building includes 110 inpatient beds, the Temerty Centre for Therapeutic Brain Intervention, a 290-seat auditorium, and a public mental health library—supporting both clinical excellence and public engagement.

The adjacent seven-storey Crisis and Critical Care Building houses Ontario’s dedicated psychiatric emergency department, a complex mental illness unit with 125 inpatient beds, and specialized spaces for hospital programs, telemedicine, and outreach services.

Spread across 9 acres, the campus is seamlessly integrated with the surrounding streets, parks, and gardens, offering services and amenities such as retail to complement the urban fabric.
