The patients’ committee discovered a couple of problems almost immediately after the opening of the Nouveau CHUM. Some of the problems discovered with the newly built $2 billion Nouveau CHUM include elevator door that closes very quickly, the absence of signage, heavy doors that are difficult to push open, and bathrooms with soap dispensers that are too high for patients in wheelchairs.
