Future
When its new buildings are completed, expected in January 2015, the MUHC will close several of its current hospital facilities and replace them with the new state-of-the-art campus at the former Glen Railyards, near the Vendôme metro station. No plans for the reuse of the current hospitals have been published. The present site of the Montreal General Hospital, to be called the Mountain Campus, will remain open as a downtown general hospital with an Emergency Department with level 1 trauma unit. This plan received the green light from the Quebec government in June 2007 and will proceed as a controversial public private partnership (PPP). The future location of The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital) has not yet been determined (see The Gazette, June 19, 2010 http://www.mni.mcgill.ca/media/news/item/?item_id=164315). The McGill-affiliated, Shriners' Hospital for Crippled Children plans to move to a separate building on the MUHC Glen Campus, which will also have a pediatric pavilion housing the Montreal Children's Hospital.

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“Perfect present has no existence in our consciousness. As I said years ago in Erewhon, it lives but upon the sufferance of past and future. We are like men standing on a narrow footbridge over a railway. We can watch the future hurrying like an express train towards us, and then hurrying into the past, but in the narrow strip of present we cannot see it. Strange that that which is the most essential to our consciousness should be exactly that of which we are least definitely conscious.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“And all your future lies beneath your hat.”
—John Oldham (1653–1683)
“We live in an age when to be young and to be indifferent can be no longer synonymous. We must prepare for the coming hour. The claims of the Future are represented by suffering millions; and the Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
