Purpose

The project aims to bring the building’s plumbing, electrical, and ventilation systems up to current standards, as well as stabilize and waterproof its foundations. The work also includes the restoration of the brick façades, replacement of the metal cladding, and the addition of a mezzanine and an elevator. Specific fit-up work will be carried out to accommodate intervention and support spaces, a reception area, community-style living spaces, co-working areas, and office spaces, as well as an event hall and storage areas in the basement. The objective of this project is to create an LGBTQIA2S+ community hub in Montreal that will provide social service organizations working with LGBTQIA2S+ individuals with optimal conditions to improve their services, achieve cost savings, and strengthen their economic and social impact. EspaceLGBTQ+ responds to a decade of advocacy efforts by providing a central gathering place for the community.
