Once completed, the hospital project will include:
- Modern spaces with private rooms and bariatric rooms.

Teams will now begin preparing proposals that detail how they will deliver the project. Once submissions are received, IO and Lakeridge Health will evaluate the proposals, select a preferred team and then negotiate a final contract. A successful bidder is expected to be announced in 2026.
