As we’ve designed these new physical spaces, we’re also using this opportunity to transform the way we deliver care. Read more about the future of care in the Emergency Department.

Embraced by Nature 

Nature is playing a starring role in the interior design of the new hospital. Spaces will feature colours and graphics inspired by BC nature and honour the traditional ancestral territories of the three host Nations – the Squamish, Musqueam and Tsleil-Waututh – which the campus is built upon. Learn more about the inspiration behind the design.
