Refurbishment works throughout the St Joseph’s Ward of the hospice include reconfiguration of the first-floor internal layout to comply with current NHS Scottish Health Technical Memorandums and to reclad the external walls with a terracotta panel rainscreen system at the first floor. The design aims to complement the existing brick used at the ground floor.

Further works include a new roof canopy on the West elevation to serve the entrance to the hospice for both patients and ambulances, renewal of first-floor services, improving ancillary structures, laundry and staff services, and an investigation into the conditions of the roof, internal and external finishes, and scope for replacement.
