Other components of the pavilion include a maternity and labour unit, neonatal intensive care unit, medical inpatient unit with negative pressure rooms and outbreak zones to isolate infectious diseases, and inpatient mental health and substance use unit with a secured outdoor patio.
The first phase of the redevelopment will also provide the hospital with an expanded emergency department, and operating and procedure rooms.
