Sainte-Anne Hospital

Pomerleau was hired to renovate the hospital's 4th to 14th floors and 3rd floor of the basilaire (270,000 sq.ft.).

The work includes:

• Renovating the building envelope;
• Replacing the concrete panels by a glass and aluminium curtain wall with windows that open;
• Updating the mechanical, electrical and fire protection systems;
• Asbestos abatement;
• Replacing the existing wards with 330 private rooms with shared washrooms on 10 floors;
• Retrofitting the administrative offices in Basilaire 3, including supplying and installing an independant ventilation/air conditioning system.

Key considerations

• Protection against nosocomial illnesses;
• Inclusion of sustainable development principles;
• Performance of the work must not affect the hospital's normal routines;
• Retrofit of the floors, one at a time, according to the approved pre-set plan, moving patients onto vacant floors as per operational requirements - There are a limited number of floors that can be closed or inaccessible at any one time;
• High standards of cleanliness, health and safety. The Pomerleau team has to ensure that occupants are kept safe and secure, especially when cranes and scaffolding are in use and/or hoisting work is underway.
