A major transformation is underway for a former hospital. The building, which suffered significant damage, is set to become a medical research hub. This development comes as a region marks a significant anniversary.

The project is expected to cost $500 million and will be led by a university. Further details about the plans are available.

The former hospital had been closed since a major storm in 2005, after patients and staff were rescued from the flooded building.
