New St. Paul’s Hospital
Now that we’ve built the hospital’s11-storey structure, work on the interior and exterior continues.
- Exterior completes: Terracotta panelling, windows, wooden entrance canopies, etc. will be installed.
- Interior work: Wiring, painting, wall protection installation continues. Large, integrated equipment and furniture will also start to be installed.
- Landscaping: Work on the Wellness Walk, Traditional Medicine Garden, and other green spaces will begin.
- Full-scale mock-ups: Select rooms will be built inside the new hospital. These rooms will have real walls, flooring and fixtures so teams can do a final check before the rest of the rooms are constructed.

Clinical Support & Research Centre (CSRC)
The state-of-the-art hub for innovation and research is greeting the new year with an exciting milestone – construction kick-off! This is thanks to the incredible work done in 2024 where we rapidly advanced through building design, including modern workspaces, research labs, the Innovation Centre, and a childcare facility.
- Construction progress: Work on site has begun, with bulk excavation set to begin in July.
- Ongoing design and engagement: Design work will continue into the summer.
- Permit updates: Providence and the City of Vancouver are continuing to work together to issue the CSRC Development Permit and Building Permit Stage 1 by February 2025.
