Additions building U.G.M.F and M.V.S
Joliette Penitentiary

This project consists of additions conducted on a single level,
as well as renovations to the principal building of the Joliette
Penitentiary Institution in its maximum security area known as
UGMF (Unité de Garde en Milieu Fermé), and an independent
building known as the MVS (Milieu de Vie Structurée) of minimum
security level. These buildings operate 24 hours a day, every
day. 
The work is divided into three distinct intervention zones,
known as " sub-projects " or " projects " as follows : A, B, and
C. The work in the three zones involves selective demolition of
existing structures to allow for the construction of additions
and interior renovations. 
 
The work on sub-project A includes, broadly, an addition of a
single storey with no basement, approximately 430 m2 (gross
floor area), on the northwest side, with new civil, electrical,
and mechanical infrastructure, for 10 new  maximum security
cells to be added to the UGMF, and a new exterior courtyard for
the prisoners. 

Sub-project B is an addition of a single storey with no
basement, approximately 155m2 (gross floor area), to an
existing, independent pavilion previously defined as the minimum
security MVS (separated from the main building), which will
include four new bedrooms, a multi-functional room, a bathroom,
an extension to the existing kitchen, as well as a new
dining/living room. New civil, mechanical and electrical
infrastructure is projected. 

Sub-project C consists of major interior renovations, as well as
a new single storey with no basement , totaling approximately
740 m2 (gross floor area) in the south-east side : for the
auxiliary services of the maximum security UGMF existing
building, and for the area known as the Health Clinic (adjacent
to the UGMF). It includes new civil, electrical, and mechanical
infrastructure work. Sub-project C also includes a new addition
for two cells for the 'isolation unit' in the UGMF, located on
the north side.  

To ensure continuity of operations in both buildings and to
maintain security at all times, work must be performed according
to a specific sequence. The work will include the construction
of temporary installations.
