Fort intéressant!

On peut voir que la moitié du terrain seulement est touché par le bâtiment, et que la partie Sud est réservée pour un développement futur.

Une passerelle reliera les résidences à la Maison.

 

Et mention spéciale au plafond en bois...

École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS)

MENKÈS SHOONER DAGENAIS LETOURNEUX ARCHITECTES

 

The École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS), an engineering school part of the Université du Québec network, is now one of Montreal’s most sought after institutions with its practice-oriented programs. The relatively young ÉTS (created in 1974) moved to its current location, the former O’Keefe Brewery Headquarters, on Notre-Dame St. West in 2005. Initially concentrated in one building, ÉTS, with its 7500 enrolled students in 2013, has grown rapidly in recent years, spreading north and west along Notre-Dame. The campus is currently comprised of several renovated buildings and a number of new additions including a large student residence on Notre-Dame. The vocabulary used by some of the architectural firms involved from the beginning has evolved from purely utilitarian to significantly more civic-minded. The projected student hub, or Maison des étudiants, was planned for the site between a recent residence building and the main campus. Ideally located, the five-storey structure will provide centralized student services, gathering and relaxation areas. The 21 000 m2 building will also include, key to its private financing, commercial areas to be leased to the business community. Additionally, an 8000 m2 underground parking structure is planned as part of the project. A tunnel towards the east and an elevated walkway to the west will eventually link the student residence to the main campus.

 

The design was inspired by an ‘Ice House’ which once stood on the site, in the heart of this historical industrial neighbourhood long known as Griffintown. The crystal-like volumes and the glass envelope relate to this long-gone facility while the printed patterns, applied to parts of the glass façades, allude to the ebullient network-based activities taking place at ÉTS. Entering the Maison des étudiants, one will immediately be drawn towards the grand staircase occupying the double-height atrium along the east and south façades. More than a circulation device, the wide stairs will constitute a major meeting place where people will be able to meet, sit, chat, work or listen to music. Connecting bridges, sitting areas, ‘nooks’, a student café and informal exhibition spaces are also planned for this hall where any number of activities are expected to take place. The surrounding park, south of the building, seems to extend indoors, the wood-slat interior ceiling being treated as an inverted landscape element. The giant steel truss, which will support the weight of the cantilevered staircase, will free space for outdoor activities but it will also allow people in the park to have a better glimpse of the Mount Royal. The Maison des étudiants is part of an ongoing effort to transform a neglected urban area into a collective space where innovation and creativity are being put forward. A showcase for ÉTS’s unique innovative spirit, this light and playful building will hopefully become a beacon in this neighbourhood long burdened with the loss of its identity.

 

 

Context The ÉTS campus is now considered as one of the main catalysts for the revitalization of Griffintown, south-west of Downtown Montreal. Currently the object of intense development, the neighbourhood is undergoing radical transformation and is expected to attract a new type of young urban dwellers. The Maison des étudiants is part of a Special Planning Program for Griffintown, which aims at transforming the area into a vibrant innovation district, branded as ‘Quartier de l’innovation’. In addition to being a meeting point for students, the new Pavilion, at the heart of a rapidly-growing population, will provide for much-needed leased space for neighbourhood services such as a health clinic, a bank and a drugstore. Finally, ÉTS filed a request to turn Murray Street between Notre-Dame St. and William St. into a pedestrian area, an intervention which would create a small oasis around the Maison des étudiants.

 

 

Sustainable design In accordance with current preoccupations with sustainable development, a LEED Core and Shell Development certification is aimed at. Amongst major environmental strategies to be implemented on the site, is the installation of quantitative and qualitative stormwater control devices, one of Québec’s LEED priorities. This strategic approach also aims at reducing water consumption by 30% inside the building and 50% outside thanks to low-irrigation landscaping. With this project, it is also hoped to achieve exemplary waste management during the construction process. Finally, enhanced commissioning of the building’s energy systems should contribute to improve the performance and the durability of the building’s envelope. By introducing a 1070 m2 vegetated courtyard, representing nearly 25% of the site area, ÉTS is creating a new green space in the city, thus contributing to lower the heat island effect. A green roof for the atrium and the choice of highly reflective materials for roofs and pavements are also being envisaged. The project addresses another one of Montreal’s environmental priorities by placing underground 100% of its required on-site parking.

Très intéressant. Je n'étais pas certain de l'emplacement du tunnel et de la passerelle.

 

En tout cas, j'ai bien hâte de pouvoir profiter de ces nouvelles installations.

J'adore l'audace de l'ETS avec ce bâtiment. C'est super que les établissement du savoir prennent en charge de donner une addition à l'architecture montréalaise. Un plus pour ce coin qui en a bien besoin. Les bâtiments autour ne sont pas laids mais il sont très sobres. Une belle boite de verre difforme ca ajoute du potentiel au secteur! J'aime bien!

Selon le texte et les images, ce sera un parc.
