Read details on projects and timelines.

The Burnaby Hospital redevelopment is a multi-year project occurring in two phases and will transform the hospital into a state-of-the-art medical and surgical health care campus.

The first phase will include the new Keith and Betty Beedie Pavilion, an expanded Support Facilities Building to include a new energy centre, and renovations to existing buildings on the health care campus.

The new six-storey Keith and Betty Beedie Pavilion will have 83 beds, in primarily single-patient rooms with private bathrooms. It will include:

mental health and substance use unit with a secured outdoor patio to enhance healing
maternity and labour unit that will provide single-room maternity care, where individuals will go through labour and delivery, and will recover for the rest of their stay in the same comfortable room
neonatal intensive care unit with single rooms for more privacy and comfort for families as well as support best practices for infection control
medical unit with negative pressure rooms and outbreak zones to enhance infection control
underground parking for improved accessibility.

Expansion and renovations of the Support Facilities Building will include:

larger emergency department, reducing wait times and providing greater patient privacy
expansion of operating rooms and procedure rooms, increasing the number of surgeries performed
additional pre-operative and post-operative recovery spaces, enhancing patient privacy and creating efficiencies
new medical device reprocessing unit with improved infection control
new energy centre, replacing the aging power plant and creating more electrical capacity to support the hospital’s growth

Phase two (2025-2028)**

The second phase will increase the hospital’s bed capacity and expand cancer services. It will include:
