The new facility will be the new home of residents and staff of three pre-existing nursing homes. It will include space for recreation therapy, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and spiritual care, and will have a mixture of bedroom types (private, semi- private, and double rooms). Food and laundry services in the new residence will also serve the existing hospital, while the support services building will accommodate staff offices, receiving docks, materials storage, garbage disposal and recycling. The project also includes an extension and alteration to the existing hospital boiler plant, to accommodate a new emergency generator and the replacement of an existing boiler with a larger capacity. For the wellbeing of residents, staff and visitors, the design of the building was created to ensure optimum energy efficiency, and is targeting LEED® Silver Certification.
