Montreal
Port Authority

In Cité-du-Havre, the Montreal Port Authority and its tenants occupy a vast heritage building, a former 1967 World's Fair pavilion. In 2015, our team was selected to manage the renovation and design of the site, in collaboration with the main contractor and designers.

Project history
This highly complex project consisted of two parts: exterior work on the building structure (including demolition of an existing curtain wall and restoration of the building envelope) and interior renovations to improve safety and ensure optimum service delivery.
We restored the fire alarms and modernized the elevators and the mechanical and electrical systems. We also improved user comfort by installing, among other things, a new heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system. Finally, we performed many tenant improvements in administrative offices, rest areas, the cafeteria and the convenience store.

Thanks to meticulous planning, effective communication and the installation of temporary solutions, tenants could continue their activities as before throughout the works.

Challenges
  • Modernize and develop a heritage building.
  • Carry out a series of large-scale works in an occupied administrative building, organizing sequential on-site works and temporary solutions to avoid interrupting the customer's activities.
  • Simultaneously carry out structural work and interior renovations.
  • Carry out works to bring the building up to standard and to improve tenancy.
