Stantec (Vancouver, B.C., Canada) has been awarded the design contract for Cottonwoods Long-Term Care Facility in Kelowna, B.C., Canada, according to a news release.
The $150 million project will be completed in phases and replace the existing Cottonwoods Care Centre, which was built in 1976 and houses 221 beds, according to a news release from the Government of British Columbia.
The first phase of the project will comprise a 4-story senior living community with 234 beds arranged in households of 12 to 18 residents each. The households will have their own living room, dining room, activity space, and direct access to the outdoors.
The second phase will include construction of a one-story addition to accommodate an adult day service program, childcare program, and additional support spaces.
