The Gazette, June 7th 2011 -- A state-of-the-art hospital isn't much good if you can't access it quickly in an emergency.
The architects who designed the McGill University Health Centre's new Glen campus were fully aware of that fact when they began sketching the plans for the facility's emergency transport systems. Ensuring that critically ill patients get where they need to go - and fast - has been a major priority from the start.
Ambulances will be able to access the Glen through three entrances; two along Décarie Blvd. and one off St. Jacques St. Those are the same entrances that will be used by all vehicles entering the site, said Pierre Major, the MUHC's associate director of construction and redevelopment.
