CHSLD Villa St-Martin of Malartic

St-Martin long-term residential and care centre in Malartic is divided into four two-story sections of 15 beds each and a prosthetics unit. The facility’s accommodations are located far from the street traffic to ensure residents’ comfort and privacy. On the other side of this central axis are the administrative services, food services, multi-disciplinary services, drop-in centre and technical support services, which all connect to the existing building by a system of walkways.

This configuration makes it possible for the various services to operate while minimizing traffic in the living areas. The residential units are dotted with open-plan lounges and alcoves, breaking up the straight flow of the corridors.
