Site work and renovation of a mixed-use development in Montreal, Quebec. Design plans call for the renovation of a 304,000-square-foot, five-story above grade, one-story below grade educational facility; and for site work for a educational facility.

Upgrades to the FACE (Formation Artistique au Coeur de l'Éducation) - Fine-Arts Core Education elementary and high school. The scope of the project provides for architectural, civil, structural, electrical and mechanical engineering work including asset maintenance and upgrades to foundations, structure, envelope, interior fittings and services; functional rearrangements: interior redevelopment, equipment and furnishings, layout of the rooms; compliance work related to the building code and energy efficiency. The project presents a degree of complexity due to the nature and scale of the work to be carried out on the century-old building, the heritage value of certain components, the various applicable regulations and the density of occupation on the site and around the site. The realization of the project will be entrusted to a construction manager. The project will be accomplished with a LEED approach without certification. Since the FACE school welcomes elementary and high education students, the relocation of students during the project implementation will have to be done in two different locations due to the unavailability of buildings large enough to accommodate all students and staff. TIMELINE: Preliminary planning in ongoing. Project implementation will be phased with completion by 2028 school year. Working drawings of the first construction phases are expected to begin in summer/fall 2024. Timelines of further project development are being finalized. Note. The start of construction will follow the completion of the renovation of 4835 Christophe-Colomb Ave where students will be transferred. Completion of this project is anticipated by the beginning of 2025 school year.
