City and province look towards Redevelopment Project

The McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) recently welcomed the report from the Office de consultation publique de Montréal regarding its plans to modernize and expand the Montreal General Hospital Site for the Redevelopment Project on the Mountain Campus.

“We’re pleased to have shared our plans for the Mountain Campus with the public,” says Dr. Arthur T. Porter, Director General and Chief Executive Officer of the MUHC. “We recognize that Mount Royal is an invaluable part of Montreal’s heritage, as is academic medicine. That’s why we’ve worked diligently with the city, the borough and community groups to ensure that our project strikes the necessary balance between protecting the area around Mount Royal and putting in place what is essential to provide the healing environment our community deserves.”

The Canada Foundation for Innovation’s announcement of its $100-million grant for the redevelopment of the Research Institute on the Glen Campus is another strong step forward for the project. In further Glen Campus news, the government of Quebec will soon authorize the McGill University Heath Centre to proceed with a Request for Proposals from the two consortia that are bidding to build and maintain the new hospital and research facilities at the Glen. This detailed document will provide the bidders with a set of parameters that describe the physical environment needed for MUHC caregivers to do their best work. With the RFP in hand, the two consortia will immediately begin working to come up with design solutions that are creative, effective, durable and fiscally sound, and from which the MUHC will ultimately choose a winning team to move forward with our new campus.
