University hails announcement of winning hospital consortium

McGill University today hailed the announcement that the McGill Health Infrastructure Group, a consortium led by SNC-Lavalin Inc. and Innisfree Ltd, has been selected as the private-sector partner in the vital project to develop a new McGill University Health Centre at the Glen Yards. This development is a key step in the road to completing the Glen Campus portion of the MUHC's redevelopment project, that will enhance leading-edge medical practice and science in Montreal and Quebec, improving patient care and helping propel research aimed at curing disease and discovering better ways to treat those who suffer from illness today. "On behalf of McGill, let me say how delighted I am to congratulate our colleagues and partners at the MUHC," said Heather Munroe-Blum, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of McGill University. "So many people have worked so very hard to get to this very exciting project to this point. It is a pivotal moment in health care and science for Quebec. We stand poised at the beginning of an extraordinary new era, one that will be marked by ever more rapid and significant developments in health science and medical treatment, many of which will happen at the world-class facility we are about to build.
