I sort of got the impression they were just talking about the wood first approach they took for the main hospital as well?

Here's the matrix for inclusion of wood on the main hospital:

Shown is a rendering of the building. The design will incorporate natural tones, including wood, in alignment with the B.C.’s wood-first initiative, and draw from the natural history of the site and local First Nations.

“While the materiality of the building is still in development, the overall intention is to harmonize the City of Vancouver’s material design guidelines with Providence’s Indigenous design guidelines and the design of the hospital itself,” explains Bagan. “The design of the CSRC building draws primarily from the natural history of the site, once tidal flats on the shores of False Creek, and a rich source of food, safety and sustenance for the peoples of the host nations.”
