Centre Hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (CHUM)

Montreal, Canada

Designed as a “super hospital,” the Centre Hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (CHUM) is a state-of-the-art, 21-storey hospital, the first of its size and complexity in Canada.

Project led by an Entuitive leader while employed at a previous firm.

CHUM includes research laboratories, a clinical research and public health department, and an educational department. Healthcare professionals use advanced technologies here, including bio-informatics, imaging and biomedical engineering, as well as CHUM’s cyclotron, producing medical isotopes for research purposes.

Entuitive was retained as the Building Envelope Consultant for this project. Given the multitude of services provided by this facility, the building enclosure must perform well in various unique and challenging internal environments while also protecting occupants from the external environment.

Challenge
Québec’s Health Ministry requirements stipulated a zero tolerance for condensation within the building envelope.
Solution
In order to set performance criteria for the external skin of the building, Entuitive performed intense thermal and CFD modelling to determine the risk of condensation occurring during severe winter conditions.
