The heritage portion of the project involved extensive restoration of both the interior and exterior of a mansion built in 1875. The addition will bring much needed space and modernized amenities to the facility.

The project included a fully-glazedinner courtyard acting as a hub to the new addition and provides views from each of the upper floor patient rooms. It incorporates several sustainable design features: high-efficiency tinted glass for privacy and minimizes heat gain; the courtyard anda roof garden; operable windows and rain-water cisterns minimize resource consumption; and reclaimed brick and other materials were used. New spaces in this health care facility include rooms for patient and palliative care, physical and cognitive therapy,dining, lounge and administrative functions.

The facility services 200 registered clients with 14 new inpatient rooms.
