The $42 million Stage One Hospital expansion was completed in September 2007 delivering 25 beds and a new emergency department, intensive care and coronary care unit, expanded renal services and increased pathology, radiology, pharmacy, and medical records departments.
The $287.7 million Stage Two and Three expansion delivered an extra 154 new beds transforming it into a 364-bed teaching hospital. Baulderstone was awarded the expansion project which included major new works, construction in two of the hospital wings and refurbishment of the existing hospital building.
