On this project, the tenant needed extra space, which required an addition to the building constructed at the roofline in a high traffic location in downtown Montreal. A food-testing laboratory was constructed with an intricate ventilation system whose function was to enable numerous fish inspectors to conduct independent testing of fish within a confined area.
The reception area was enclosed with curved double-glazed wood partitions to meet the tenant’s acoustic requirements.
