A revitalized Place Bethune recently reopened on de Maisonneuve Boulevard near Guy-Concordia metro and the university’s downtown campus after a long period of construction. The space, a city project created in close collaboration with the university, adds a little greenspace to the concrete jungle downtown. It includes a group of benches as well as stonework and lampposts which are unique to the square.

 

Most noticeably, the space includes a large statue of the letter “C”. According to Concordia University representative Chris Mota the stylized “C” will be cropping up on three or four corners downtown, all of which will eventually include a campus map acting as a wayfinder or a marker letting people know where they are on campus.

Quand les arbres auront suffisamment poussé !! J'ai hâte de voir ça !! Belle réussite. Comment faire un petit oasis sur un terrain qui au départ, était ingrat !!

The Guy Metro building looks awful in that picture. Any word of the status of the plans to reclad it to match the new buildings?

Et les quelques fois que je suis passé par là dans les dernières semaines, tous les sièges étaient pris et il y avait vraiment de la vie! Ça fait du bien au moral! Les gens semblent vraiment s'approprier cet espace! C'est génial!
