The professionals and administrators of the Pierre-Janet Hospital aim to create a pleasant living environment for its patients in order to improve their health by developing an outdoor space that will include a therapeutic walking path, a multi-sport field, exercise and animation stations and a playground. Various spaces will be set up all along the walking path, each offering a different type of physical activity or event.
Outdoor environments, just like indoor environments and sports facilities, are an integral part of the care and rehabilitation environments for inpatients, whose average length of stay is approximately 50 days. The hospital’s outdoor spaces – which have been outdated or unusable for years – require improvements and new facilities, especially since the hospital underwent major renovation. Currently, the outer courtyard and infrastructures are not adequately developed for these activities and do not meet the community’s needs. .
