The new building is to be linked to the existing building and will house a new clinic area, administration offices, a wellness center, physical therapy, a therapy pool with large adjacent whirlpool, employee training/shelter area, and a large maintenance and receiving area. EMS quarters and ambulance bay were also provided. All areas were designed with accessibility in mind for clients and employees with disabilities.

The wellness suite includes a reception/waiting area, office and storage areas, exercise gymnasium with exercise machines (treadmills, exercise bikes, etc.), running track, cardiac rehab center, and related locker rooms.
