The Burnaby Hospital redevelopment is a multi-year project occurring in two phases and will transform almost every area of the hospital.
Phase one (2021-2025)*

The new six-storey Keith and Betty Beedie Pavilion with 78 beds will feature:

- maternity unit that will provide single-room maternity care, where moms 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
- medicine unit with single rooms, including negative pressure rooms to enhance infection control
A new energy centre will replace the aging power plant and create more electrical capacity to support the hospital’s growth.
Expansion and renovation of existing buildings to include:
- Larger emergency department, reducing wait times and providing greater patient privacy
