A fourth section serves as the 2-storey, main hospital entrance and connects the rehabilitation block to the inpatient tower block. All of the facility buildings include full or partial below-grade basement levels. The floor covering materials include terrazzo, porcelain tile, ceramic tile, rubber sheet, carpet, resilient sheet, resilient tile, anti-static tile, epoxy and concrete floor sealer. The ceiling systems include suspended drywall, suspended acoustic tile, wood ceiling panels and exposed structure.

Conventional construction techniques are planned for the facility including a building envelope of pre-cast concrete and glass curtain wall.

The parking garage will be a pre-cast concrete structure in conjunction with a cast-in-place reinforced concrete foundation, slab-on-grade and shear walls.
The project includes the design and construction of three storm water management ponds, and significant site work such as the new Western Road and the extension of Third Line as well as many internal roads, site services and landscaping.
The foundations are comprised of a combination of strip footings, pad footings, caissons, foundation walls, columns and slab-on-grade. The structural system will be cast-in-place reinforced concrete columns, shear walls and suspended slabs. The mechanical penthouses are steel framed with metal decking and siding. The exterior building envelope uses a variety of materials including stone, pre-cast wall panels, brick, pre-finished metal siding, wall panels and trim, metal louver, rigid insulation and air barriers. Windows include aluminum strip windows and glazed curtain wall systems. The roofing systems include membrane roofing, green roofing and pre-finished metal roofing.
