The terminal building is located on the east side and will be fully accessible. The building contains climate-controlled and naturally ventilated passenger waiting areas, seating, washrooms, free public Wi-Fi, and transit information displays. The terminal’s exterior has landscaped areas, seating, and a passenger pick-up/drop-off area. There will also be a pedestrian connection from the terminal to the Hospital.
