There are so many different versions....I wonder which one will be built.

 

Aucune de celles-ci! Ils font les plans à mesure qu'ils construisent.

 

Je pense l'avoir déjà dit sur ce thread mais ils dirigeront certainement l'approche sur les fonctionnalités cliniques d'abord et avant tout. Ils ont très à coeur le comfort des futurs patients (lumière naturelle dans chaque chambre, contrôle très pointu de la qualité de l'air etc...) et ne feront aucun compromis là dessus. Pour le "look" extérieur, nous verrons bien. Je crois que les efforts sont concentrés actuellement sur comment intégrer (et maximiser) l'ensemble de ces fonctionnalités dans le "floorplate" et le budget approuvé (et comme vous le savez, le budget n'a pas illimité!). Le peaufinnage de l'aspect extérieur, ça viendra certainement plus tard, ça ressemblera conceptuellement à ce que vous voyez mais presque tout est suceptible de changer, y compris les matériaux utilisés pour le revétement extérieur. Aux dernières nouvelles, j'avais même entendu parler de panneaux d'aluminium... on verra bien.

MONTREAL - As construction resumes on the Glen Campus this week, one of the elements that crews will focus on will be the new mega-hospital’s service corridor.

 

While a long, mostly empty hallway doesn’t seem like a very exciting or glamorous part of the campus design, the corridor will eventually play a critical role, serving as a central passageway through which supplies, equipment and personnel can move. Located below ground on level S2, it will run the entire length of the Glen through the Children’s Hospital, the adult wings, the Cancer Centre and the new Research Institute and will be used primarily for the transport and delivery of sterile supplies, biomedical equipment and medications to stock the Glen’s pharmacy.

 

Simply put, if the campus were a living organism, this corridor would be its spine. With the exception of the Research Institute, which will have its own loading and shipping arrangements, the entire Glen will rely heavily on the “back-of-house” hallway, said Robert Hamilton, Senior Director of the MUHC’s Glen Campus Development.

 

“The principle of that central spine on (Level) S2 is really one of the lifeblood elements for this campus,” Hamilton said. “This is all part of the larger concept which is to separate the different types of movement in the hospital.”

 

The corridor will simplify movement on a horizontal level, he said, and once people and supplies reach the appropriate point along the hallway, a network of elevators will take them up the floors above. That vertical movement also will be carefully controlled, with some elevators dedicated to movement of equipment, some for patient transport, some for visitors, and others for waste.

 

The service corridor will never be used to move patients, Hamilton said, and very few members of the medical staff will use it. The public also will be unable to enter the space. In fact, if the corridor functions as it should, the average person moving through the campus will be oblivious to its existence, Hamilton said.

 

At the moment, the beginnings of the service corridor are not easy to see from the Vendôme métro station, which offers the best views of the campus. On a recent tour of the site, however, Hamilton pointed out where it will be located and reporters were allowed to take some snapshots from the western end of the site near Décarie Blvd.

 

“It’s really a unique moment in time where we can see these lower floors of the building,” he said. “It’s a powerful and exciting phase of the construction.”

A suggestion should be made to the architects that they incorporate stylized versons of the cranes on the roof of the finished building. It would certainly be an eyecatcher.

The Shriners will reportedly be breaking ground for their new hospital next week.

 

The Gazette says the ceremony to announce the organization's $150 Million hospital will happen next Thursday.

 

It was touch and go in the mid-2000s, over whether the hospital would even be built here, but after a push from the premier and Mayor Tremblay, the Shriners decided to build it here instead of London, Ontario.

 

The newspaper says the hospital will be built in tandem with the new Montreal Children's hospital and both should open in 2015.

Unless I was dreaming, I saw a report on TV last week where they said that the frames of all the buildings will be visible by next June.

The thing is getting massive. As you go past it on Turcot, you can actually see it rising above the barriers on St Jacques. Very exciting!
