The Markham Stouffville Hospital in Markham, Ontario, has received LEED Silver  certification for its 385,000-square-foot expansion, according to an article on the Healthcare Construction + Operations website.

The original building also received upgrades, including new floors, windows and paint. Hand washing stations, private bathrooms and medical charting technology closer to the beds were added to the existing patient rooms.
