Posted these in the great hostpital thread but thought it might be of interest here as well.


Construction site of the massive, $2.2B expansion of the Enfant-Jésus hospital in Quebec City. Interestingly, this new hospital will mainly be heated/air-conditioned by water vapor. The city's incinerator is located about 2km away from the hospital and a few years ago, in anticipation of the construction, huge pipes were installed between the two complexes so that water vapor produced at the incinerator will be directed to a power plant installed at the hospital. It will cut greenhouse emissions by an estimated 95%.

The old hospital will be integrated into the new complex. In the following renders, you can see how the architects tried to somehow aesthetically merge the new construction with the old one.
