The facility is currently being converted to a field hospital through a multiphase construction effort. Phase 1 (currently ongoing) will be setup to house up to 125 acute care patients and corresponding support staff. In addition to patient beds, the facility will also house supporting services such as a pharmacy, a medical imaging lab, and other critical hospital services.
Construction is scheduled to continue through to June 2020 and is an important component of the Saskatchewan Health Authorities (SHA) pandemic response plan. The use of Merlis Belsher Place as a field hospital provides capacity to handle a sudden and unexpected surge in COVID-19 positive cases. Thanks to the support of our campus community and our generous university donors, this facility will help to position the SHA to continue to serve the community in this unprecedented time.

This plan will then be finalized through the proper university channels to make sure we consider any impact on other areas of campus and can ensure that we are re-opening safely. Check back on the Usask Rec Update page for the latest information.
Submission of Invoices and Arranging for E-payment
Invoices:
If you already email your invoice to USask, continue to use the same email address and process as you currently use.
If you typically mail invoices to USask, please contact connectionpoint@usask.ca to setup electronic invoice reciept.
Suppliers electing not to submit invoices electronically may face delays based on the service levels provided by Canada Post and the ability for staff to come onto campus to process these payments while respecting the guidance provided by the public health authorities.

USask will continue to process invoices that it receives, but suppliers who are not signed up for electronic payment will experience delays of unknown duration in receiving payment based on the service levels provided by Canada Post and the ability for staff to come onto campus to process these payments while respecting the guidance provided by the public health authorities.
