An eco-responsible, design and cultural project
Inspired by modernism and retrofuturism, this new 3-storey building will be comprised of eight former metro cars and will feature a resto-bar, exhibition hall, conference room and shop dedicated to local products. Plans also include a 300-seat digital auditorium and a green roof terrasse. Highly conscious of environmental issues, the team will build according to strict sustainable development principles, from energy consumption and choice of materials to the integration of nature into the building's design.
MR-63 will provide an opportunity for young professionals from the neighborhood to discover local talent as well as for anyone curious to explore local Montréal culture.
A public place for one last summer
Before the project gets underway, the organization will offer a final, ephemeral public place where people can experience the MR-63 on the site of the future building. Just like the future permanent pavilion, you’ll find a bar, local eats and an evolving calendar of music and events showcasing local talent. Stay tuned for programming details.
