Sacré-Coeur-de-Montréal Hospital: The waiting room

Sacré-Coeur-de-Montréal Hospital

Sacré-Coeur-de-Montréal Hospital is one of Montréal’s largest teaching hospitals, affiliated with the Université de Montréal.

Built in 1927 as a sanitorium treating tuberculosis patients, the hospital includes general, emergency, and specialized medicine to support more than 300,00 patients annually.

Thanks to major government investments, the hospital commissioned an expansion to modernize the nearly 100-year-old building. The goal is to better reflect the hospital’s vision to become a leading research center in traumatology for patients and researchers.

The new four-story addition comprises a 26-bed maternity ward, a new endoscopy day clinic, a medical device reprocessing unit, and new research and teaching labs. The specialized intensive care unit, known as the Integrated Trauma Centre, was relocated to the new wing and now includes 32 beds.

Updating a century-old hospital

In a joint venture, architectural firms Provencher Roy (Montréal) and Yelle Maillé (Montréal) delivered the 174,935-square-foot expansion, an L-shaped wing that reinterprets the century-old hospital.

The new volume’s shape echoes the hospital’s original rectangular pavilions, typical of a tuberculosis hospital. Materials including glass, aluminum, and terracotta-colored masonry were used in the new wing’s envelope to discretely pay homage to the original clay brick building.

In a contemporary twist, the architects used a glass curtain wall to reflect the chapel in the new wing’s main entrance. Landscaping and outdoor furniture enhance the site and the chapel’s unique architecture.

The energy-efficient envelope was specially designed for Montréal’s extreme winters with a mix of alternating vertical bands of terracotta-colored porcelain stoneware and glass curtain wall. This mix also manages to preserve natural light and views from interior spaces to promote the well-being of patients, caregivers, and visitors.

Supporting The Connection Between Facility Design And Outcomes

“This is an exciting time for our industry. We might be facing some of our most demanding challenges, but we are also in a time of unprecedented growth in the construction of new building projects and of building renovations and remodels.” These were the opening words when I penned my first column 22 years ago for the newly launched Healthcare Design magazine. They are as relevant today as they were more than two decades ago. At that time, current spending on healthcare construction was $17 billion a year and was expected to increase to $27 billion annually in the next decade. This year, according to a report from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, healthcare construction spending is estimated to reach more than $62 billion and continue to increase over the next five years. Increasing demand for healthcare services and an aging population will continue to drive new construction for the foreseeable future, especially for new outpatient clinics. At the same time, the added financ
