The new CHUM is being built on the existing site of the Hôpital Saint-Luc , within a couple of meters of the existing buildings .
“ From a construction perspective , it ’ s very complex to be building so close to the existing hospital ,” said Paul Landry , Project Director of the CHUM redevelopment project . “ Complex construction logistics for a building that is over 3 million square feet and 22 stories in height .”
The selection of the site for the new CHUM was quite strategic , according to Landry . Right beside a major highway system , the new CHUM also links to a regional train system , solving transportation issues previously encountered on the existing older sites .
“ We are quite pleased with the vertical scale
“ We ’ ve gone through a very complex , very thorough , multiple years of planning ”
