Located in the heart of the cosmopolitan Côte-des-Neiges district in Montreal, this ambitious expansion project for the Jewish General Hospital brings together in a single building the hospital’s critical, intensive, and emergency care operations. With a total area of 85,000 m², the new pavilion constitutes an expansion of close to 40% of the existing area of the hospital.
In Quebec, this represents the first major modernization of a university hospital campus achieved by centralizing the components and advanced technologies of a contemporary hospital in a single new construction. From its inception in 2009 to its inauguration in 2016, the project mobilized a total of more than 120 architects and engineers from programming to construction, including nearly 50 people within our firm.
With the hospital’s critical care functions now located in one building, the operation of the hospital campus is optimal. The facilities built between 1934 and 2009 retain less technically demanding functions, enriched as such in a sustainable manner. The new pavilion welcomes patients in an ultramodern space bathed in natural light, designed to maximize the effectiveness of treatments, services, and circulation, and to help control the spread of infection while maintaining the privacy, dignity, and safety of patients.
