Legendre Garage and Body Shop

Project Description

To expand the Legendre Garage and build the new bus Body Shop of the Montreal Transport Corporation, an environmentally friendly approach was taken. The steel was chosen to integrate several green features, including the large spans which facilitate the circulation of the new fleet of articulated buses of the MTC and hence save CO2 emissions during occupancy.

Challenge Description

It was very important to use the steel and leave it exposed, retaining the steel trusses that supported the roof and clerestory and making them visible by removing the existing ceiling systems.
