DIX 30DISTRICTInnovative real estate project in the Quartier Dix30 district for both commercial and administrative uses, consi-dered the first of its kind in Quebec.
EXECUTION OF PHASE III
Quartier Dix30 is a multifunction real estate complex in Brossard, on the outskirts of Montréal. This innovative project was deve-loped on a 1.5 million square foot site desig-ned to serve as a town centre.
Phase I of Dix30 opened to the public in September 2006, with many retail stores, restaurants and various related services, totalling 400,000 square feet.
The project is now in Phase III ($100M bud-get) and will include construction of not only commercial space but also an 18-storey hotel, two office buildings and a six-storey medical clinic. This commercial project is also very innovative for its high density, mix of uses and inclusion of a totally pedestrian commercial street.
COMMERCIAL PROJECT OFFICE BUILDING
Apart from our firm’s involvement since 2008 in the development of phase 3 of the Lifestyle type complex, we were mandated for a paral-lel project that involved increasing the den-sity of phases 1 and 2 through the construc-tion of a 14-floor office building having an area of 250,000 sq.-ft. This project, involving inserting an office tower in the center of the action, created a focal point for the Quartier and contributed to creating a true downtown for the Montérégie region. This project was the expression of the desire to consolidate the mixed-use vocation of the site and to develop upwards.
To achieve this project, we had to adopt innovative architectural solutions in order to meet the following challenges:
Project location Brossard (Qc)
Implementation period
2006 - in progress
Cost of Work $500 M
Area 74 300 sq m
“We succeeded in designing the entire DIX30 complex with budgetary and time constraints without compromising on quality.”
Tinh Nguyen, senior technician, project leader
• Maintain a human scale in order to avoid compromising commercial viability at the street level;
• Plan access to the building from the underground parking lot, the shopping street, and the rear alleyway;
• In spite of its location, we had to give the building good visibility.
PARKING
Phase III will greatly reduce the area of heat islands so common in typical shopping centre parking lots, by placing all the required 2,000 spaces in a multilevel underground parking garage.
Air from this garage will be exhausted mecha-nically through grates built into the sidewalks behind stores, to avoid inconveniencing cus-tomers and tenants. Fresh air can also be brought in through these same grates and with a control system that opens the garage doors only as required. The insulated garage is heated (tempered) with natural gas and sealed to prevent water infiltration. Vehicle entry and exit is controlled by six high-speed insulated roller doors, two for each of the three outdoor access ramps to the garage. These ramps are heated to ensure totally safe access. Since underground parking accounts for 95 percent of all parking on site, vertical traffic to and from buildings is critical. The-refore, 13 elevators and 17 escalators will be built to serve the leasehold space. The par-king garage proper covers about 350,000 sq. ft. on each of both levels, for a total of about 700,000 sq. ft.
CLUB DIX30
This new venue is meant to complement the Étoile Banque Nationale hall. With seating for 250, it also houses an 80-seat restaurant and two private rooms, each able to accommodate 25 people. The club is arranged cabaret-style, with tables for four. It’s a venue for all ages, offering dinner shows, brunch, as well as dancing.
MEDICAL CLINIC
Construction of a new six-storey building with 19,000 m2, containing commercial premises (2,900 m2) on the ground floor and a me-dical clinic (3,700 m2) and office space (8,500 m2) on the upper floors. The design was based on sustainable deve-lopment principles (water management, energy efficiency) and emergency require-ments (movement of stretchers or whee-lchairs). The layout includes an entrance lobby, common spaces (hallways and rest rooms), stores, offices, and a medical cli-nic (operating room, diagnostic and ma-gnetic resonance imaging area).
“The goal when designing Club DIX30 was to create a venue with a distinctive and festive atmos-phere, both for the audience and for the performer.”

ANCIENNE-LORETTE'SSPORTS CENTER
SPORTS AND RECREATIONAL FACILITIES PROJECT
Construction of a sports (2 ice surfaces) and cultural events complex
Project location : Ancienne-Lorette (Qc)
Implementation period : 2007 to 2010
Cost of work : $18 M
Area : 10 125 mètres carrés- 2 Glaces : 4 855 m2 - Sous-sol: 2 180 m2 - Rez-de-chaussée: 6 800 m2 - Étage: 1 150 m2
Realisation mode : Projet en Partenariat Public-Privé (accéléré / conception construction)
Ancienne-Lorette’s Complexe Sportif Multidisciplinaire, on the banks of Rivière Lorette in the city’s central park, combines all the services of a multifunction arena with the latest technology in audiovisual equipment and facilities to host various types of sports and cultural events. It houses two adjacent NHL-regu-lation ice rinks with fast icing systems, surrounded by heated stands that comfortably seat 1,225 and 300 spectators res-pectively. In addition to the ice surfaces for hockey and other sports, the sports complex developed with a multidisciplinary approach provides users with 14 locker rooms (two can ac-commodate professional hockey teams and two are reserved exclusively for women) and another for referees, as well as fitness rooms with modern equipment for off-ice training and preparation. In addition to these facilities, there are massage therapy and chiropractic services, a pro shop, skate sharpe-ning room, storage areas and lockers, an infirmary, a laundry room, cloak-rooms, food service areas and unloading docks that can handle major events. To provide optimal viewing of on-ice activities, the box-office lobby provides access to a pri-vate fitness centre, lively restaurant-bar and central lobby that all have direct views of the ice. Many snack bars have been set up around the perimeter of the rinks, in the central lobby and near the boxes to serve customers efficiently and keep waiting lines short. Since the building is laid out around a core, users can be at the heart of the action while enjoying high safety levels. There are also 12 administrative offices and two training rooms available for various sports organizations as well as four multipurpose rooms with retractable walls and access to an indoor courtyard that always has a clear view of the ice. In an elegant, modern environment, there are five spacious boxes, including one multimedia box for the press gallery, to meet the needs of journalists, columnists and cameramen at tourna-ments and major sports and cultural events.
entertaining façade immediately stimu-lates visitors as soon as they enter the site.
The use of wood for the exterior siding provides an interesting and unexpected contrast with the insulated metal panels that are the most common siding material in this type of project. These insulated me-tal panels can be quickly assembled over large surface areas in all weather condi-tions, so they appeared to be the perfect choice to save time and money. However, to avoid having the building look like a cold storage warehouse, we developed a
detail so the panels could be installed horizon-tally instead of vertically as they usually are. A series of mouldings and the counterpoint of two types of steel siding were instrumental in giving the building a unique and remarkable architectural character.
SAFETY
Safety rails in the stands were a compensatory measure submitted to the Régie du bâtiment du Québec. We wanted to minimize the visual impact of many safety rails while still ensuring public safety, and this was achieved when the Régie approved our request. In addition, ope-nings of tempered glass without intermediate columns further improve spectators’ views.
RESTAURANT
The restaurant, which features a panoramic view of the ice surfaces, lets visitors enjoy their meal while watching a hockey game and liste-ning to a musician perform on stage in the bar area. A huge central lobby serves both rinks and lets spectators roam without losing sight
INNOVATION
The arena is notable primarily for its very flexible and functional layout. Acoustics in these large spaces have not been neglec-ted: there is a system of acoustic panels carefully positioned throughout the ceiling structure to provide excellent performance acoustics, a major benefit for hosting musi-cal performances and other sports, cultural and arts presentations.
The sports complex’s main innovation is placement of the ice rinks in the base-ment, which makes the stands accessible from ground level, which in turn improves access to the facilities and enhances visi-bility. In addition, since players can access the ice directly from their locker rooms on the same level in the basement, the space under the stands can be used for storage, which frees up the traffic areas. Finally, Ancienne-Lorette’s sports complex is one of the only arenas in Quebec and eastern Canada with all the unique technology of the "Eco-Chill" system, which recovers and reuses as much of the available energy as possible and reduces greenhouse gas emissions generated by the complex.
ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT
As the initial conceptual premise, empha-sis was placed on designing openness into the building, immediately apparent as an unconventional approach to this type of project. We therefore gave priority on the main façade to a huge curtain wall revealing living spaces where the functions of fitness training, gatherings, recreation and restau-rants are interrelated. This dynamic and
of what is happening on either rink. The furni-ture near the main snack bar lets people enjoy a bite to eat while watching one of the many large plasma screens installed all around the gathering area.
FOR USERS
The private two-tier training centre with the most sophisticated facilities provides a great view of the ice and outdoors. The location and size of the mezzanine were planned to accommodate training and running for para-chute jumps.
The functional locker room layout required careful planning since the adjacent rooms are separated by a shared shower room. Players also have access to training rooms.
On the upper floor, a synthetic skating surface was designed to accommodate practice shots on goal and mini-hockey games.
Retractable walls between the multipurpose rooms allow custom configurations to meet users’ needs. The main room provides access
to a large terrace next to the skating rink, with fixed benches and a bar counter on the mezzanine above the roof of the restaurant-bar. This is a great place for sports fans wan-ting to watch a game in progress.
INTEGRATION
Ancienne-Lorette’s Complexe Sportif Mul-tidisciplinaire on city land by the banks of the Rivière Lorette takes full advantage of its strategic location. Sited in a recreational and natural setting, surrounded by woods, a playing field, an aquatic centre and the Ancienne-Lorette Polyvalente school, it replaces the obsolete Ma-rio-Marois Arena. One of the main advantages of the complex’s location is close proximity to the surroun-ding sports and educational infrastructure, providing vi-sible, welcoming, accessible and safe facilities, that rea-dily serve citizens of all ages.
“The uniqueness of the amphithea-ter resides mainly in the great ver-satility of its installations, which are flexible, functional, adapted to various occupancy types, and sus-tainable.”
Jocelyn Boilard, Architect owner Project leader
the challenge was to reconfigure the buil-ding’s initial commercial function and design light-filled spaces adapted to a working office environment. One of the client’s wishes was to create a pleasant, lighted work environment for occupants.
In cooperation with the client and in com-pliance with LEED criteria, the building envelope was optimized to increase thermal resistance and user comfort. Our team deve-loped new innovative integrated strategies to
ATRIUM, QUEBEC
This building, erected in Charlesbourg in the 1970s, was initially designed as a shopping centre. After it was bought by the Govern-ment of Quebec in 1989, the structure was renovated for the first time to house admi-nistrative offices.
The initial design of the building had an introverted approach with few openings to the outside, an imposing silhouette and a central promenade illuminated by two sky-lights. During the second transformation,

improve workspace quality through reconfigu-ration of interior spaces, to open the building up with a common lounge area and, finally, to make targeted improvements to mechanical and electrical components.
OPENING UP THE BUILDING
The indoor environment of the Atrium buil-ding was designed to open the infrastructure up to the outdoors. The exterior development plan helped improve this aspect by creating
interstitial spaces such as the addition of an outdoor terrace next to the cafeteria, a series of rest areas and abundant plantings. To improve soil irrigation, a two-metre-wide green belt was planted around the building’s perimeter. The development plan also pro-motes active transportation with a bicycle trail nearby and the addition of bicycle racks at the various entrances to the building. This initiative is another strategy designed to connect people with their environment and surroundings.
OPTIMIZING THE ENVELOPE
Expansion of the Atrium building increased the area of the fourth floor to expand the buil-ding’s capacity without changing its footprint. The new addition is entirely glass-enclosed, letting in generous amounts of daylight. Care-ful attention was paid to materials selection to promote Quebec’s own resources, such as heat-treated laminated lumber, aluminum panels and limestone. Wood panels were in-serted into the exterior envelope to strengthen the building’s distinctive identity and enhance its esthetics. The wood, heat-treated jack pine, uses a totally natural process to boost its resistance and prevent deterioration. The limestone and aluminum panels used for the exterior envelope were produced locally. A white reflective membrane was installed on the roof to avoid the greenhouse effect. Green roofs were added above the entrance cornices and loading dock, an initiative encouraged by the Canada Green Building Council (CGBC). On the main roof, two existing skylights were retained and three more were added to maxi-mize natural light inside the building. These changes to the envelope improve the Atrium’s thermal insulation while creating a more light-filled and pleasant work environment for the department’s employees.
IMPROVING WORK SPACES
Two central hallways were designed to change the building’s initial character and provide sa-tisfactory service to the more isolated areas. Given the large size of the building, it was vital that the design team revitalize the two main traffic corridors by using a sequence of spa-tial motifs. Remarkable impro-vements were made at the various intersections, where the design of curved walls and skylights provided natural overhead lighting.
- Landscaping that requires no irrigation
- Rainwater retention
- Roof-mounted tank
- Reduction of light pollution
- New low-flow plumbing
- Showers for cyclists
- Natural lighting in 85 percent of spaces
- Low VOC emissions interior finish
- CO2 captors to control air quality
- Environmentally efficient lighting
- Centralized management of electrome-chanical systems
- Improved start-up operations
- Recycled materials
- Construction waste management
- Reused resources: furniture and tempo-rary partitions
- Reduced heat island effect
- Lumber certified by the Forest Stewardship Council
A key objective during the project design phase was targeting improvements to the mechanical and electrical components, to significantly reduce the building’s energy consumption. By combining various creative strategies, we managed to cut energy use by 35 percent. By our estimates, all the actions planned will achieve long-term savings of about $200,000 a year. These numbers prove that an existing building can be trans-formed into a model of environmental effi-ciency without having to replace all existing components.
Our team proudly focuses its architectural practice on a building’s life cycle, to reduce its environmental impact and operating costs. Part of our work therefore entails identifying the weakest links in an exis-ting building while keeping those that are functional, to make strategic choices in the design of a green building and avoid unne-cessary waste. Windows, heating and the ventilation system are good examples of this practice. While 75 ventilation units on the building’s roof were replaced with high-per-formance models, the interior ductwork was kept because it was in good condition.
Renovation of the Atrium building provided an excellent opportunity to develop an inte-grated design process that led to obvious viable solutions for the building, its occu-pants and the environment.

Leed Pending LEED Silver certification
In the fall of 2009, Waste Management, the largest environmental services organization in North America, opened a landfill site in Saint-Nicéphore and provided funding for a regional school board to build a training and recycling centre powered by recovered biogas.
One year later, CFER (Centre de formation et de recyclage) welcomed its first students to theoretical and practical training in a dyna-mic, innovative environment. With a total area of 1,588 square metres, the building consists of a steel core enclosed in a steel and wood envelope. CFER’s design illus-trates simplicity and natural elegance while incorporating sustainable, environmen-tally friendly techniques. The siting, shape and planning of the building as well as the materials used helped create a sustainable, energy efficient structure. Seventy percent of the wood-based materials used were certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, which supports sound forest management, while 18 percent of the materials were from recycled sources. The CFER building also uses 60 percent less energy and 30 percent less water than a conventional building of
the same size. The generous fenestration and unique roof shape optimize natural lighting and provide luminous spaces for users. The building was also sited to capitalize fully on sunlight. The roof and marquee were desig-ned to increase reflection of daylight while avoiding overheating. The building is natu-rally ventilated and incorporates an automatic energy savings system, obviating the need for air conditioning. The exterior parameters were also designed to reduce heat, with minimal parking, and native plantings that require very little care and prevent runoff of rainwater.

The client wanted a thoroughly contemporary new building and the adapted technological innovations are indicative of the facility’s mission.
A new building is being constructed adjacent to an existing structure with an area of 2,600 square metres, to consolidate a complex in the field of leading aeronautical research.
The program involves establishment of a research and training centre that includes an aircraft hangar, research and tooling laboratories using the latest technology, administrative offices, researchers’ offices, a boardroom, a student café, common areas, a teachers’ lounge and a full sanitary block.
This project must incorporate spaces with a wide range of functions. For example, a 25-metre-square aircraft hangar is located next to administrative spaces and laboratories. The new building has also been designed to comply with sustainable development principles and is targeting LEED certification.

LE MONDE DE COSSETTE
OFFICE AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN PROJECT
A space that reflects the culture and identity of Cossette’s world.
Renovation of Cossette Communication offices using our team’s winning concept developed in the initial competition.
The concept was developed in reference to the “mood board” prepared by the client and its needs. The “mood board” assem-bled the client’s sources of inspiration and illustrations of the desired style for its future facilities. The new Cossette Communication offices are located in a former post office (Telus Building at 300 Saint-Paul Street) that was completely gutted. Our renovation work was carried out within this shell converted into office space. The facilities present a new approach to work for Cossette Com-munication professionals. The open-plan offices consist of many islands for work, meetings and creation, called “creativity
incubators.” The central core of this space consists of a large bookcase enclosing “stu-dy boxes”, small isolated, themed rooms ideal for brainstorming and creative activity, and collaborative spaces that promote team-work. The premises also include the head office of Vision 7, Cossette Communication’s corporate division.
To optimize configuration of the spaces and forge a synergy between the work areas and common spaces, the architectural approach was to create semi-isolated work areas that remain open areas yet provide a degree of separation between the various teams by consolidating the traffic spaces toward the building’s centre and taking advantage of that space to promote social and collabo-rative activities. From a formal perspective, this resulted in the creation of a gallery hallway that showcases projects completed by Cossette’s people. Thus, structuring the high-traffic space leads occupants to walk through the common area, where many faci-lities have been located to promote encoun-ters and collaboration.
To help users make the space their own, very few fixed features were installed, to lea-ve the space as flexible as possible. In this way, the space can evolve and adapt to the client’s needs.

" [...] The ministry and the college system tas-ked [Planifika] with documenting the current situation of Quebec’s college property inventory. This exercise began in April 2011 and lasted 16 months. Four teams, composed of mechanical, electrical and architectural engineers, as well as economists, evaluated the infrastructures of the 48 colleges in the province of Quebec using iden-tical objective criteria. They looked at the exte-rior building envelopes, the electromechanical systems, with photos as supporting evidence, and tested the condition of the structures. Thanks to this comprehensive audit, we were able to build a reliable and up-to-date database. [...] "
Quote from Ms. Christyne Tremblay, Deputy Minister for Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology (MESRST) Asset maintenance deficit committee April 17th 2013
The area studied has undergone a significant increase in property values and is under serious redevelopment pressure.
Professional commission to define a master preservation, develop-ment and requalification strategy for existing buildings in the Cote du Passage and Dorimène Desjardins Street area of Old Lévis, between Saint-Louis and Saint-Laurent Streets, to assist city officials in defining buildable space and infill criteria to guide developers in drawing up acceptable infill projects compatible with the original urban core buildings and their heritage and identity characteristics.
The primary challenge of this study was to develop infill criteria for contemporary buildings amid the existing heritage fabric of the Cote du Passage area, to respect the sense of place.
In recent years, the study area has seen a significant rise in pro-perty values and is under serious redevelopment pressure. At the juncture between the ferry and the Lévis terrace, it will also play a strategic role in travel by citizens and in welcoming tourists and visitors to Old Lévis.
