The new hospital building is terraced lower on the eastern side to accommodate a sloping terrain, with a landscaped rooftop terrace nearly level with the ground on one end. The western side connects with a 6-story patient tower, shown in the distance, to form an “L” shaped building. An indoor cafeteria on the fourth floor of the patient tower opens onto the terraced rooftop.
