The Larry & Cookie Rossy Promenade

The Glen site has often been described as a village with streets and plazas. The Galleria is the Glen site’s main street that spans the rez-de-chausée level of the hospital complex and looks onto the public plaza facing the Vendôme metro station. It is filled with natural light and populated by cafés and restaurants where people can take a break. The Larry & Cookie Rossy Promenade is the primary point to connect to the hospital blocks and get to the elevators, care units and clinics.

There is also a clear network of interior streets that facilitate wayfinding and provide calm spaces for staff, students, patients and their families. There are three atria throughout the hospital complex: Atrium AB-Pediatric, Atrium CD-Adults and Atrium E-Research Institute.

Commercial Retailers

The hospital complex has over 20 commercial retailers in high traffic areas at the Glen site. The types of services you can expect to find include: coffee shops, restaurants, gift shops, a florist, dry cleaner, and a pharmacy, to name a few.

The retail units are primarily spread throughout the Larry & Cookie Rossy Promenade, and along the atria on the S1 level (Atrium AB-Pediatric, Atrium CD-Adults and Atrium E-Research Institute).
