The expansion project was designed by Tétreault, Parent, Languedoc and Associates, Saia and Barbarese Architects and the architects Dupuis, Dubuc and Associates(Ædifica). The Société immobilière du Québec (SIQ) was mandated by the Québec government to adopt the role of principal contractor on the project. Since the expansion of the PCM uses a turnkey approach to construction and design, a contract was signed between the SIQ and the Gespro-BFC-Divco (GBD) consortium, the design and construction firm.
