    Saint Joseph’s Oratory of Mount Royal has unveiled a new four-storey pavilion as a part of its ongoing master plan. This structure, designed by Lemay, includes a striking bell tower and sustainable features such as green spaces replacing paved areas and high-performance insulation to reduce carbon footprint. Incorporating stone from the site, the building enhances natural lighting and offers panoramic views of the city. The pavilion also introduces a series of curated spaces and sequences of skylights that enhance visitor experience.

    What This Means for Canadian Contractors

    This project shows how heritage and modern design can coexist while promoting sustainability in construction. For Canadian builders, this means a growing emphasis on integrating green spaces and energy-efficient systems in cultural projects. Such developments can influence permits and policies towards more eco-friendly building practices.
