The majority of construction access will take place via a shaft down from the Molson Stadium parking lot, which will hopefully limit disruption to interior office and lab areas. We have a reasonably firm in-service date at the end of April 2019, although as always this could change due to unforeseen circumstances. I hope this information will help researchers in planning future studies utilizing this exciting new infrastructure, and thank the many individuals who have been involved in advancing this project. Information on technical capabilities, access, and billing policies will be circulated in the coming weeks.

At this time, we would like to remind users that this airy zone of sunlight and greenery was designed as a calming environment to help accelerate the recovery of our hospital patients. The elements of nature-shrubs, trees, flowers and water-were chosen for their restorative power. Varying shades, textures and fragrances contribute to reducing stress and anxiety. Natural, artificial and nighttime lighting are integrated to create a soothing visual effect. In view of its use by our hospital patients, the Healing Garden has clearance for wheelchairs. It is expected that the Healing Garden will also be used as a place where a patient's loved ones can await the outcome of a surgery or receive news of a diagnosis. While, on occasion, discreet social events in connection with a Neuro event may be held there as well, the primary focus of the Garden is to provide a tranquil and inviting space for quiet reflection. The Neuro's staff and students are welcome to enjoy this new area of The Neuro, but like a library or a religious temple, the Healing Garden must impose restrictions if it is to maintain its purpose. We therefore respectfully request that there be no food or drink, no laptops, and no loud conversation. By respecting the peaceful environment of the Healing Garden, we can all benefit from its restful power. DESTINATAIRES: Ensemble des membres du corps professoral et du personnel du Neuro SOURCE: John McCall, directeur, Administration et exploitation OBJET: Healing Garden / jardin de ressourcement Comme vous le savez sans doute, le jardin de ressourcement situ? au rez-de-chauss?e de l'atrium Manuvie, qui s'?l?ve sur trois ?tages du Pavillon de l'aile nord du Neuro, accueille des visiteurs de fa?on r?guli?re depuis son ouverture, en mai dernier. Ceci dit, nous tenons ? rappeler aux usagers que cette oasis de verdure spacieuse et baign?e de lumi?re a ?t? am?nag?e pour offrir aux patients de notre h?pital un endroit calme et favorable ? la gu?rison. Les ?l?ments de la nature - eau, fleurs, arbres et arbustes - ont ?t? choisis pour leurs propri?t?s r?g?n?ratrices. Les nuances de couleurs, de textures et de fragrances contribuent ? att?nuer le stress et l'anxi?t?. Et les ?clairages naturel, artificiel et nocturne s'harmonisent pour cr?er un effet visuel apaisant. ?tant donn? qu'il est mis ? la disposition de nos patients, le jardin de ressourcement pr?sente le d?gagement n?cessaire pour permettre l'acc?s aux personnes en fauteuil roulant. Il peut ?galement ?tre utilis? par les proches d'un patient en attente de l'issue d'une chirurgie ou de l'annonce d'un diagnostic. Bien qu'? l'occasion, on puisse y tenir des activit?s sociales discr?tes li?es au Neuro, le jardin se veut d'abord et avant tout un lieu de tranquillit? invitant et propice ? la r?flexion. Les ?tudiants et les membres du personnel du Neuro sont les bienvenus dans ce nouvel espace. Toutefois, ? l'instar d'une biblioth?que ou d'un lieu de culte, le jardin de ressourcement doit faire l'objet de certaines restrictions afin de conserver sa raison d'?tre. Nous prions donc les usagers de s'abstenir de boire, de manger, d'utiliser un ordinateur portable ou de parler ? voix haute. En pr?servant la qui?tude du jardin, nous pourrons tous b?n?ficier de son pouvoir relaxant.
