May Progress Pictures
Curious how things are coming along inside the new hospital this month? Keep scrolling to see the May progress pictures!
One of the most exciting developments is how far work has come on the main lobby. Since April, the flooring has been finalized, ceiling tiles and paneling have gone up, and accent lighting has been installed to enhance the already-bright space. Pictured left: View from inside the lobby, facing the main entrance. Pictured right: View of reception desk from main entrance.
Another area of the facility that has completely transformed is the lab. Lighting and ceilings have also been installed in this area, as have brand new workspaces for the technicians. This space is exponentially larger than the current laboratory at the Stuart Lake Hospital, so there has been a substantial amount of electrical work done to ensure proper infrastructure for new equipment that will fill the lab.
Strolling through the hospital and health care areas, it's exciting to see finishing details popping up everywhere. In the Emergency and Long Term Care areas, lifts have been installed throughout personal rooms.
In Primary Care, room signs and handrails line the walls. If you look closely at the room sign above, you'll notice that each room sign features braille in the bottom left corner to help visitors find their way.
In the Emergency Department, there's a new splash of colour! If you read our breakdown of colour choices for the hospital from March, you've probably wondered when the teal would appear. Pictured above, the nursing station has recieved its first coat of the rich colour and the emergency waiting room showcases the finished stage of painting.

Many other areas of the facility are focused on finishing details. Faux-wood accents have been installed throughout, as seen in the Spiritual Space (pictured left) and one of the meeting rooms (bottom right).
The Graham team is working on the Long Term Care areas now, adding the faux-wood and tile accents to the lounge's feature wall (top right) and community kitchen.
Things are beginning to feel less like a construction site and more like a finished facility! We can't wait to welcome the community into the new Stuart Lake Hospital in 2025. Until then, check back for project updates and let us know what you're most excited for in the comments!
