Air conditioning units will be installed in 70 patient rooms at The Montreal General Hospital (MGH) of the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC).

The patient rooms between floors 11 and 18, located mainly in the upper floors of the MGH, are expected to have the air conditioning units installed by August 2019. The new units will be installed alongside existing ones, improving the ventilation system already in place.

The project initiated last summer by the MGH Patients’ Committee, was confirmed at the Board of Directors meeting on June 14. “It’s fantastic,” says Thomas McCutcheon, member of the MGH Patients’ Committee.

“Previously, air flow at the MGH was constricted to the corridors since the hospital was built without the intention of ventilating the rooms themselves. These new air conditioning units will not only cool patient rooms directly, but contribute to a more comfortable working environment for staff and visitors,” MUHC.

Renovations are already underway started with the distribution of electrical cabling in the building’s corridor ceilings. Next, the top glass window panes inside the patient rooms will be replaced with washable fiberglass plywood panels which comply with standards of Infection Control.
