  • Redefining Public Art in Toronto — Vision and Recommendations
    Thus in contrast to Toronto, public art in Montreal is a core municipal and provincial service. Dedicated budgets, a compulsory per cent for art program, and ample staff provide resources for the city to integrate public art into the texture and fabric of urban experience and to experiment with both traditional and novel approaches to doing so. Figure 29. BGL, La vélocité des lieux, 2015. Crédit photo/photo credit: Guy L'Heureux, 2015. 88 In 2017, Montreal is celebrating Canada 150 (as is Toronto), the 375th anniversary of the founding of Montreal, and the 50th anniversary of Expo 67. While Canada 150 is generating a good amount of programming in both cities, it is not resulting in many public art projects in Toronto. In Montreal, however, Canada 150 and that city’s 375th anniversary celebrations have generated a good number of public art projects, such as La Balade pour la Paix, among others. There is a conscious effort by the City of Montreal to use the 375th anniversary as a platform for public art to generate international prestige. Key findings This section summarizes some of the main findings of our research. I. Collaboration between stakeholders While BAP and MCC are the two major public art stakeholders in Montreal, they operate alongside and in collaboration with other public institutions. These strong collaborative relationships are a crucial part of Montreal’s successful public art initiatives. Currently, there are two important clusters of collaboration between museums, universities, and the City. • Zone Éducation-Culture is a forthcoming public art hub on Bishop Street, a zone shared by the Quartier du Musée and the Quartier Concordia in the Ville-Marie borough.

  • Stratégie Centre-Ville Mémoire – Université Concordia
    STRATÉGIE CENTRE-VILLE MÉMOIRE – UNIVERSITÉ CONCORDIA NOVEMBRE 2016 CONCORDIA : UN PARTENAIRE ACTIF ET ENGAGÉ DE MONTRÉAL ET DE SON CENTRE-VILLE Concordia joue depuis toujours un rôle-clé dans le développement et le renouveau urbain de Montréal. Nos racines remontent à la fondation du Loyola College en 1896 et de la Sir George Williams University en 1926, qui ont fusionné en 1974 pour devenir l’Université Concordia. Nous avons poursuivi et consolidé cet engagement au cours des dernières années, notamment en participant à la création du Quartier Concordia qui a contribué à la revitalisation des secteurs environnants avec la construction de nouveaux pavillons à la fine pointe de l’innovation, la rénovation de bâtiments existants ou encore l’acquisition et la rénovation d’édifices patrimoniaux, comme par exemple l’ancienne Maison-mère des Sœurs Grises. Un centre-ville, c’est aussi les gens qui l’habitent, y travaillent ou le visitent. Nous nous efforçons donc au quotidien de collaborer au dynamisme et au développement de nos communautés, tant dans l’arrondissement de Ville-Marie où se situe notre campus Sir- George-Williams, que dans Côte-des-Neiges/Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, qui abrite notre campus Loyola. C’est pourquoi nous accueillons très positivement la vision incarnée par la Stratégie centre-ville : Soutenir l’élan (ci-après désignée par le sigle « SCV »), et sommes heureux d’avoir l’occasion à la fois de nous exprimer sur les différentes orientations et chantiers qu’elle contient, et de faire état des collaborations que nous proposons pour soutenir la réalisation de la perspective « Le centre-ville en 2030 ».

  • Grey Nuns Unveiling
    GRAND OPENING GREY NUNS STUDENT RESIDENCE AND READING ROOM SEPTEMBER 2014 T15-20168 CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY: PROUD CUSTODIANS OF A MONTREAL MONUMENT Nearly 150 years ago the Sisters of Charity began construction of the Motherhouse of the Grey Nuns of Montreal. Acquired by Concordia University, this landmark has a new purpose, all the while preserving its outstanding patrimonial character. Our renovations and restorations have allowed for 355 new student residence beds (for a total of almost 600 residence beds) to help meet the need for quality student housing downtown. The magnificent former chapel space has been transformed into a quiet reading room for up to 234 students, another pressing need for our community. In addition, 14 group study rooms were redesigned and equipped with screens to foster collaborative work. Concordia is honoured to be the custodian of this Montreal monument, and has ensured that all renovations reflect best practices in heritage preservation. This project is the culmination of years of collaboration with the Sisters and the Government of Quebec, in particular, the Ministère de la Culture et des Communications. www.concordia.ca 2 RENOVATION HIGHLIGHTS Major renovations to the Grey Nuns Building – which has served partially as a student residence since 2007, and also houses a daycare facility – have just wrapped up. The modernized space features much-needed individual and group study areas. The number and types of residence rooms on site have also increased. A look at renovations: • The residence section of the building now accommodates almost 600 beds. • The former Grey Nuns chapel has been transformed into a 234-seat silent reading room.

  • Projet De Programme Particulier D'urbanisme Du Quartier Des Gares
    PROJET DE PROGRAMME PARTICULIER D’URBANISME DU QUARTIER DES GARES MOT DU MAIRE À l’approche de son 375e anniversaire, Montréal déploie et poursuit ses projets d’aménagement et de développement, afin de fournir à sa population les services publics les plus efficaces, de lui offrir les meilleures conditions de vie, et d’être plus attrayant pour ses visiteurs et pour ses résidents, actuels et à venir. Le moteur économique de Montréal, qui est aussi celui de la région métropolitaine et du Québec dans son ensemble, c’est notre centre-ville. À l’instar de quelques autres grandes agglomérations nord-américaines, telles New-York et Chicago, Montréal a adopté un modèle de développement basé sur un centre-ville dense où se concentre l’essentiel de l’emploi et de l’activité économique, qui se juxtapose à des secteurs résidentiels de grande qualité. La requalification et le développement du territoire dans le centre-ville constituent donc une priorité stratégique pour Montréal : cela va des travaux d’infrastructures jusqu’à l’implantation de modes de transport collectif novateurs, en passant par l’amélioration du domaine public et la construction d’édifices de grande qualité sur les terrains sous-utilisés. Denis Coderre Voilà autant de types d’interventions qui attirent non seulement les travailleurs de toute la région et les visiteurs de l’étranger, mais aussi les entreprises, génératrices d’emplois et de richesse. Ce nouvel environnement dynamique amène enfin les familles à réaliser combien le mode de vie urbain peut leur être avan- tageux : lieu de travail à distance de marche de la résidence ; proximité des institutions d’enseignement réputées, des grands hôpitaux, des équipements et événements récréatifs et culturels majeurs ; grande diversité de l’offre commerciale ; environnement marqué par l’animation de la rue, par la richesse et la qualité de son patrimoine architectural et de son domaine public..

  • Concordia, Université Engagée
    Concordia: Engaged in Innovation and Agent of Social Change Notes for a Presentation by Dr. Claude Lajeunesse President, Concordia University to the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal February 2, 2006 Ladies and gentlemen, dear colleagues, Thank you for offering me the opportunity to address this prestigious forum. It’s a great pleasure and an honour for me to speak to you this morning. When I returned to Montreal six months ago after being away for a number of years, I made it one of my top priorities to meet representatives of the Board of Trade and to learn about its activities. I must say that I am very impressed with your vision, your leadership and your dynamism. Your president, Isabelle Hudon, personifies this energy and your savoir-faire. I also appreciate her thoughtfulness in calling me this morning to wish me good luck. Your recent Study on Private Financing of Culture combines a sophisticated understanding of what makes Montreal unique, with a wealth of practical steps for moving forward. That’s hands-on leadership with intellectual credibility, and I congratulate the Board of Trade for it. It is also an area where Concordia has made 1 a strong contribution, in support of Mayor Tremblay’s push to establish Montreal as a world cultural capital—something we can all support. It’s obvious that Montreal is going through a period of growth that presents enormous potential—in part thanks to you all. You embody our community’s great strengths, and I know you care a great deal about the future of our city.
