The transformation of the site of the former hospital on Île Saint-Laurent is a major issue, which initially involves the demolition of high buildings between 1960 and 1980, without any particular architectural interest, which will allow new buildings to be erected but also to improve the value of existing old buildings. This delicate step includes the careful preservation of buildings protected under the title of Historical Monuments as well as ancient objects, heritage of the hospital preserved in-situ. Then comes the implementation of an urban project whose contours are currently emerging.
