Updates around the campus
The Menno Place campus has a wide variety of spaces – from the new Primrose Gardens to the older buildings at Menno Home. We are working strategically to update spaces on the campus to create a more home-like environment for our residents. Here are some of the updates that have recently been completed:
Hospital W2 – Fireplace and Television rooms updated
Hospital E1 – Chairs and patio tables added to the patio, along with a gate and path that makes it easier for E1 residents to enjoy the Living Waters Garden
Apartments – Terrace Bistro was painted and updated with new floors
Home – Chairs and umbrellas added to the courtyard garden
