The new five-storey pavilion of Verdun Hospital was inaugurated on October 16. This milestone marks an important step in improving healthcare services for the people of Verdun and the surrounding areas, and our team is proud to have contributed to its realization.

This complex project called upon our expertise to address several structural challenges. The addition of a new building connected to the existing facility by a bridge with an expansion joint, the integration of an atrium and a loading dock, as well as the management of architectural and seismic constraints, required tailored engineering solutions. As a civil protection–classified building, the pavilion also features a hybrid structural frame and innovative seismic and wind connections.

Congratulations to all the teams involved!
