Lakeshore General Hospital : Set-up of a Modular Building

The Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux (MSSS) has authorized the CIUSSS de l’Ouest-de-l’Île-de-Montréal to acquire a modular building in which the Emergency Department of the Lakeshore General Hospital (LGH) will be located temporarily.

The building will be set up in parking area P1 and attached to the hospital. It will remain in place for several years to simplify the construction of the new Emergency Department, which is scheduled to begin in 2025, as well as several reconfiguration projects planned at the hospital.  

This is excellent news! The building will provide a modern environment that meets existing standards, is easier access, and ensures a safer environment in which to provide the community with a better quality of care and services. 

In addition to the Emergency Department, located on the ground floor, the modular building will also welcome the future University-affiliated Family Medicine Group (U-FMG), a project in collaboration with McGill University, on the first floor. One benefit of this configuration is that it will make it easier to redirect priority and (P4 and P5) patients, improving case management.

The Rapid Access Clinic (RAC) will be moved and expanded. It will be located on the same floor to further improve fluidity within the hospital.

Set-up of the modular building will begin in the fall of 2023, with a planned opening in the spring of 2024.
