The words inscribed above the entrance to an early library building, Fiat Lux: Let There Be Light, reflect the goal of this ambitious undertaking: to create a new Library complex that will accommodate exciting advances in technology-based learning and pedagogy, proactively positioning it to meet the needs of current and future McGill students, faculty and researchers. The ambitious plans outlined on the following pages will create a vibrant Library space that is a vital centre of campus life: convenient, comfortable, safe and available, offering a wide array of virtual and on-site programming to support research and learning, including rapid access to print media. 01 Unveil plans and Preliminary celebrate lead McGill University's Design philanthropic gifts Bicentennial celebrations Ground breaking Grand opening 2019 2021 2022 2025 Fiat Lux is a hugely exciting $140 million endeavour that is being realized through a combination of philanthropy and institutional support.

  • La Préservation D'une Gare Historique Et La Perspective De L'usager
    Université de Montréal La préservation d’une gare historique et la perspective de l’usager par Joumana Chemaly Faculté de l‘Aménagement Mémoire présenté à la Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales en vue de l‘obtention du grade de Maîtrise ès sciences appliquées en aménagement option Design et Complexité Août 2016 © Joumana Chemaly, 2016 Université de Montréal Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales Ce mémoire intitulé : La préservation d’une gare historique et la perspective de l’usager Présenté par : Joumana Chemaly a été évalué par un jury composé de : Tiiu Poldma, Ph.D. Directrice de recherche Jean Therrien Président – rapporteur Christina Cameron, Ph.D. Membre du jury Résumé Les théories contemporaines en conservation, en urbanisme, en architecture se rallient toutes pour intégrer la participation citoyenne dans leurs processus, dans la perspective d‘un développement durable. Plusieurs enjeux entrent en ligne de compte et influencent les décisions prises en ce qui concerne le destin de gares de train abandonnées. Cette étude tente d‘éclairer l‘impact de certains de ces enjeux dont : le ou les nouveaux usages qui seront octroyés à la gare dans sa nouvelle «vie », l‘architecture de la gare elle-même et la façon dont elle sera traitée ou modifiée, l‘espace de la gare ainsi que sa transformation et finalement l‘appropriation de cet espace par le citoyen. L‘approche qualitative est l‘approche méthodologique choisie. La recherche combine la méthodologie d‘analyse de contenu et l‘étude de cas. Le cas de la gare de Westmount est examiné en comparaison avec le cas de la gare d‘Orsay transformée en Musée d‘Orsay.
