  • Larger space for palliative care, including a palliative care lounge and garden
  • Culturally and medicinally significant landscaping with outdoor spaces and gardens developed in collaboration with local Indigenous Elders and plant experts
  • Construction of 85 parking stalls, greatly increasing parking capacity
