The project, which entails an investment of nearly $140m, will offer new and refurbished space to the 150-year-old facility.
It will include increased patient room size, a new emergency room and more overhaul for existing patient rooms.
Hospital CEO Jeremy Bradshaw stated that nearly 80% of its admissions at the hospital are for the emergency room. The expansion project will help meet the increasing demand for emergency room.
