Located on the University Laval campus in Quebec city, this scientific complex, set to be completed by 2026 with an investment of over $22 million from the Canadian and Quebec governments, will feature multiple cutting-edge laboratories focusing on significant research themes, including a logistics center for preparing maritime and land missions, and laboratories for simulating the extreme cold of the North.
Epsylon will realize the envelope of this new research facility, including 11 000 sq. ft. of preglazed, conventional and inclined curtain wall, as well as interior glazing and railings.
Construction work on Vaudreuil-Soulanges Hospital began in 2022, and will be completed in 2026. The health care centre will have two wings, a total of 132,340 m2 of space. It will offer 404 beds, an operating suite with 11 operating rooms, and an emergency room that can accommodate 41 stretchers. The project represents an overall investment of $2.6 billion.
Once it opens, Vaudreuil-Soulanges Hospital will provide local care and services for neighbouring communities, as well as specialized services for the entire population of the CISSS de la Montérégie-Ouest region. Pomerleau is leading the project, and Epsylon is delighted to be contributing to this remarkable new building that will be contemporary, welcoming and energy-efficient.
Verdun Hospital is being expanded and updated. Epsylon will be installing curtain walls and recessed windows over a surface area of 65,000 sq. ft. The project is designed to increase the total surface area of the premises by 60%, including the construction of new health care facilities.
The original building dates from the 1930s. Upon completion of the current project, it will be a modern, state-of-the-art health care centre. The project is LEED certified. It features a green roof, and materials and colours that highlight Verdun Hospital’s original art deco style while giving the facilities a contemporary look.

The Maison des Aînés de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu is located on land beside the Gertrude-Lafrance CHSLD (a residential and long-term care centre). The construction of an additional three floors, equipped as three separate units, adds 192 beds for increasingly dependent senior citizens.
This new concept in health care provides multiple services along with access to specialists, allowing residents to enjoy their latter years with dignity and respect. Epsylon is happy to have been chosen by the contractor, EBC, to participate in this institutional project.
This seniors’ and alternative home is made up of eight living units with twelve beds each. 84 of those beds are reserved for senior citizens, while the remaining 12 are kept for adults with special needs.
This type of living situation is designed to feel more like home, mainly by offering a friendlier environment with indoor and outdoor areas that are specially adapted to the changing needs of residents and their loved ones, and being open to the community. The contractor, Pomerleau, chose Epsylon for this institutional project designed to improve quality of life for our most vulnerable populations.
Epsylon was chosen by EBC for the construction of Pavilion F on the l’École de Technologie Supérieure (ETS) campus. The new building, located at the south end of the main pavilion on Rue William in Montréal, is six storeys tall and also has a basement. The building has a total surface area of over 13,000 m² with space for 2,375 students and staff members.
The project was begun in 2021, and includes nearly 30 classrooms, open learning areas, study rooms, offices for research centres and much more. Epsylon is happy to be contributing to a place of learning designed for the coming generations of ETS graduates.
The long-debated mega-hospital project on the site of the Hôpital de l’Enfant-Jésus is making good progress. The new construction has a surface area of 174,983 m2 and a total cost of $2.24 billion. All work on the project is expected be completed by 2029.
Eventually, the new hospital complex will unite the Hotel-Dieu de Québec and the Enfant-Jésus Hospital in a single location. It will become a reference centre in Québec for all kinds of specialties, including nephrology (kidney disease), neurology (diseases of the nervous system), oncology (cancer), traumatology (physical injuries and serious accidents) and severe burns. Epsylon is proud to contribute to this public health project that puts patients and employees at the heart of its design.
Epsylon participated in the construction of biologic production facilities to support the long-term development of Canada’s ability to protect its citizens’ health.
The production centre was completed and made operational in record time. This new infrastructure has strengthened Canada’s overall readiness for biofabrication and preparedness in response to a pandemic by allowing vaccines and other biologic drugs to be developed entirely in Canada, from invention through to the final product.
We are very happy to announce that Epsylon has just obtained the contract for the construction of the second phase of the University of Montreal hospital center (CHUM)!
We are given the mandate for the development of the envelope of buildings B2 to B4 for this second phase of the CHUM, which will be built on 17 floors and will feature more than 200 000 ft2 of curtain walls and architectural aluminum panels.
We are proud to collaborate with Pomerleau to the construction of this imposing hospital center, an anchor point of the new Health District in Montreal.
We are very happy to have earned the mandate for the construction of the building envelope for CHU Ste-Justine’s new “Technopole” in pediatric rehabilitation.
This ambitious project is a result of a joint work between researchers, clinicians, entrepreneurs and industrials of Quebec and features the construction of a new building that is part of CHU Ste-Justine’s rehabilitation centre; recruiting of new researchers, teachers and clinicians specialized in rehabilitation, and partnerships with institutions and organizations working in the field of pediatric rehabilitation. Epsylon undertook the construction of the building envelope of this new centre.
