The new campus is designed to serve as a regional reference center in trauma, cardiology, neurology, oncology, and high-risk patient care. Large and flexible clinical areas provide a modular infrastructure capable of adapting to advanced medical technology integration and future capacity increases.
The project’s standout features:
Patient-centered design: More single-patient rooms, natural light, and healing spaces
Integrated research and education: A structure in which clinical practice and academic work are intertwined
Urban integration: Connections with public transportation and surrounding innovation districts
Resilience and sustainability: Energy-efficient systems and disaster-ready infrastructure
When completed, New St. Paul’s Hospital and Health Campus will be one of Vancouver’s most advanced healthcare facilities; it will be positioned not only as a hospital, but as a strategic social infrastructure investment that combines healthcare services, scientific research, and urban life. The project serves as a reference example in Canada for the hospital and health campus model of the future.
