In addition to Govan's 16 cottages, his architectural plans called for several support buildings including a powerhouse, a sewage pumping house, male and female infirmaries, recreation and dining halls, a number of kitchens, a tubercular and isolation hospital, a church, general stores, greenhouses, workshops, a surgical and pathological building, doctors and nurses residences, a cold storage plant, and an administrative building.

Since the hospital complex was built on preexisting farms, much of the fertile land was salvaged and its crops were used during the construction period to feed workers, administrative officers, patients, and doctors. Upon completion of the facility, the farm was operated by doctors and patients and it provided all the milk, meat, and vegetables necessary to sustain the hospital. The farm continued in operation until 1969 and tending the farm was considered therapy for many patients.
