As part of its fiftieth anniversary, the Collège Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes decides to redefine the identity of the school by renovating and expanding its spaces. As part of a global reorganization plan, also including the addition of two new pavilions, the redevelopment of teaching and administrative spaces makes it possible to optimize the use of the College.
It was a question of relocating and rationalizing functions through clever interventions and the design of premises adapted to the reality of today's youth.
Both inside and outside, the spaces are redesigned to better correspond to the wishes and needs of the school.
A major challenge was to carry out this project over a long period, without affecting school performance. Thus, the planning of a work schedule and a repair, replacement and phasing block expansion program made it possible to carry out usual school activities without disruption.
